The silver jubilee celebration of the Kohima Village Gazetted Officers’ Association (KGOA) kicked off today here at Kohima Village Council (KVC) Hall by felicitating the NPSC successful candidates, unfurling of KVGOA flag, launching of e-SMS service and release of jubilee handbook.
Releasing the jubilee handbook, KVC chairman Medoselhou Keretsü expressed happiness over the strength of KVGOA members, which now stands at 400 plus.
He encouraged the students to study hard and excel in the various competitive exams and continue to keep the flag of KVGOA flying high.
He congratulated six NPSC successful candidates from Kohima village this year and also three others who received Governor’s medal/award in recognition of their meritorious services and contributions.
He called upon the officers to maintain discipline and uphold the code of conduct so as to receive even Presidents’ Commendation in the coming days.
Minister for environment, forest & climate change Dr. Neikiesalie (Nicky) Kire formally launched the e-SMS service. The first SMS was launched by KVGOA first president Vipralhou Kesiezie.
It may be mentioned that KVGOA launched e-SMS (Bulk SMS Service) as part of the activities carried out in commemoration of the silver jubilee. The e-SMS became a reality through the support of Department of Information Technology & Communication.
e-SMS or Bulk Messaging is dissemination of SMS message for delivery to a large numbers of mobile phones (users). It is commonly used for alerts and reminders, but also for broadcasting of information and communication to targeted persons or group of people.
“We are also happy to inform that this facility can be utilized by any of our organization for broadcasting information in the form of SMS messages to respective members,” KVGOA stated.
