Mokokchung, January 24 (MExN): The Aosüngküm Cultural Club (ACC), Mokokchung village today celebrated its 33rd anniversary with Chief Secretary Alemtemshi Jamir IAS as the chief guest. The Chief Guest, while speaking at the programme, said that without culture and traditions, human beings cannot survive; and without culture, a society cannot progress.
Saying that identity is very important for a community, Alemtemshi said it is culture that reveals our identity. Besides, while stating that scientists have predicted that computers will be more intelligent than the human brains after a few years, the Chief Secretary maintained that a big challenge will be about how we preserve our culture when such a technology is introduced in our society.
In this regard, he maintained that culture, though it includes important things like ornaments, dresses, songs and dances; yet preserving and practicing the very essence of culture is very important. Different groups presented cultural dances and songs during the programme. ACC President T Bendangwati Pongen narrated a brief history of the ACC while the 2nd runner-up of Naga Orpheus Hunt 2013 Yapangtula and NOH 2013 finalist Lijem Atsongchanger presented special songs at the programme.
