The 3-day long 37th general conference of the Western Sumi Students’ Union (WSSU), which started on January 29, culminated on Sunday evening at Niuland with Secretary, Department of Finance, Y. Kikheto Sema as the chief guest.
Speaking on the motto of WSSU, “With United Power,” Kikheto said it was aptly quoted as there could be no power or strength in the real sense if there was no unity. However, Kikheto opined that Naga people were lacking 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 to 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 pointed out entrepreneurship as one of the many areas where the youth could become self reliant if they were 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.
Meanwhile, in the morning session, Director, YouthNet, Hekani Jakhalu spoke on the topic, “Progressive Generation” which was the theme for the conference.
