Gracing the closing ceremony as the chief guest was Neibu Nagi, 1st Class Contractor, who called upon the gathering to promote wrestling to higher level. Wrestling being a main traditional game, we should find means to promote the game to higher level, said Nagi.
Lamenting on the poor economic condition of the state, the chief guest called upon the people not to rely on ‘salary economy’ alone but to venture into other fields with equal enthusiasm and determination. Economy problem must be solved first in order to solve other problems, said Nagi and further suggested that business is a good option as it gives total decision independence to one. While urging the people to stop the menace of being too dependent on the government, Nagi reminded the gathering that the people also have a part to play in building the economy of the state. For too long, we’ve been considered as consumers but now, it is time we stand on our feet as producers through different ventures, he added.
