He was interacting with members of the Indian Red Cross Society Nagaland State Branch (IRCSN) on June 20 at the Red Cross Building, Kohima.
A press release issued by PRO to Governor said that Acharya called on the members to be sincere towards the job and to continue working for the people. He encouraged the members to work on modalities on how to strengthen the society in various field including education and health sector.

Acharya further informed that the President of India has urged the Governors to convene meetings with various NGOs, including the Red Cross Society, from time to time and to inspire them towards social responsibilities.
He called on the IRCSN to review and find new methods to reach to the people for development. The dormant or hidden energy of IRCSN should be utilised to reach out to the people especially those living in the remote areas, he added.
The Governor also said that the IRCSN should not depend on the government for revenue. He called on the members to increase the membership and to-let out the property to increase their revenue. “We have to see that the revenue increases to carry out the works but should not depend on the Government always,” he stated.

Care and share should be agenda for IRCSN, the Governor added.
