WSSU conference culminates

EMN DImapur, January 31 A three-day 37th General Conference of the Western Sumi Students’ Union (WSSU) which began on January 29 culminated on January 31 evening in Niuland with Secretary of Finance Department, Y Kikheto Sema, as the chief guest. Speaking on the motto of WSSU “With united power,” Kikheto termed it aptly as there could be no power or strength in the real sense if there is no unity. In this regard, Kikheto pointed out that Naga people lacks cohesive strength as they were disunited on many fronts. “Even within Sumi community, there exists clan-ism and other unhealthy competitions among the various areas and ranges. In such scenario, how can real strength exist?” he queried. Kikheto appealed the Naga society especially the youth to stand up in unison for the betterment of the society. He also encouraged them to labour hard to be self reliant. He cited entrepreneurship as one of the many areas where the youth could become self reliant if they are sincere and committed enough in their endeavour. The evening programme was attended by a host of Sumi bureaucrats, former office bearers of Sumi Kiphimi Kuqhakulu and WSSU. In the morning session, Director of YouthNet, Hekani Jakhalu, spoke on the topic, “Progressive generation” which was the theme for the conference.
