The new office dedicatory ceremony of the Nagaland Wrestling Association (NWA) cum first executive office bearers meeting of NWA took place on June 29.
The new NWA office at New Secretariat road, Kohima, was dedicated by Rev. Velavoyi Keyho, pastor, Phezoucha Nagamese Baptist Church.
Delivering keynote address, NWA president Vivolie Kezo stressed on the need to strengthen the circle of the NWA by reaching out to non-wrestling community/ tribes in the state.
This will be the priority of the present tenure, he said.
Kezo appealed all the wrestling lovers especially the non-wrestling community to come forward and join both the Naga style wrestling event as well as other national and international wrestling styles.
Belt wrestling, which is quite familiar with Naga style wrestling, is likely to be introduced as Olympic medal event shortly, he said.
“Our wrestlers have been winning good number of medals in the national and international level,” he said and maintained that Nagaland has bright prospect in Belt wrestling.
Soliciting support and cooperation from all the concerned citizens towards NWA mission, Kezo said that the present team is committed to work together with one and all to take wrestling forward.
Earlier, the programme was led by NWA publicity & information secretary Er. Seyielhouvi Nagi.
