Mokokchung, September 12 (MExN): The Western Yimchunger Students Union (WYSU) conducted a joined meeting on September 10 and 11 respectively with the Yimchunger Union Mokokchung (YUM) along with the executives of Yimchunger Baptist Church Mokokchung and the recently formed Yimchunger Students Union Mokokchung (YSUM) on the theme ‘Strengthening ethnic roots.’
WYSU in a press release said that during the two day visit, the WYSU emphasized on the necessity to preserve the cultural heritage and values i.e. love, respect and sacrifice as we witness a rapid change in the system of our society and at the same time being vulnerable in adopting that culture. The Union also encouraged the youths to stay connected with one's native village and cooperate whenever help is required from them and even urged to maintain good relations with neighbors for peaceful coexistence.
WYSU expressed concern over the depletion of linguistic standard among the youths of western Yimchunger community and urged the concerned tribal union, student wing and Church bodies to give importance on such matters by conducting classes, seminars and workshops.
