Minister for Higher Education & Tribal Affairs, Temjen Imna Along said Aos as pioneers should start thinking differently and that they should work for a Nagaland where all the Naga tribes were inclusive.
\u201cWe need an inclusive Nagaland where all the tribes live in unity with a prospect for development, employment, economic viability and socio-cultural identity\u201d, Along stated.
Speaking at the Ts\u00fcngremong festival organised by Soyim Students\u2019 Union (Soyim Shisaluyimer Telongjem) Ungma, under Mokokchung district at Babu Tz\u00fcbu Amphitheatre on the theme \u201cTs\u00fcngkang Medemshi\u201d, he said an exclusive attitude had divided the fabric of Naga community.
In this regard, he asked the Ao community as pioneers to \u201cchange their ways of thinking\u201d in order to create an inclusive Nagaland.
He pointed out that although today\u2019s youth were incredibly intelligent, their levels of tolerance have decreased and their hearts had become limited to thinking about oneself.
Along said everyone should take part in making improvements because one person\u2019s participation along would not be enough.
Further, he urged upon everyone to conserve and pass on what was significant to this generation \u201crather than mixing tradition and culture with faith.\u201d
He also urged upon Ungma village to serve as custodian of Ao customs and culture.
Stating that a society could only advance if the youth introspected on the past, he said people lacked the ability to stand up for themselves on the basis of socioeconomics, tradition, politics and culture.
He asserted that in order to foster unity, people must continue to develop their culture and traditions since these would bring everyone together.
At the programme, welcome address was delivered by STT president Moatemsu Longkumer, Ts\u00fcngremong greetings was delivered by Ao Students\u2019 Conference president Nungtokyanger Ao while Imtidongba Jamir spoke on significance of the day.
Altogether, six student bodies from six Ao ranges\u2014Ongpangkong, Langpangkong, Jangpetkong, Japukong, Asetkong and Tzurangkong presented Ts\u00fcngremong items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
