The Angami Youth Organization (AYO) along with its constituent units-Southern Angami Youth Organization (SAYO), Northern Angami Youth Organization (NAYO), Western Angami Youth Organization (WAYO) and Chakhroma Youth Organization (CYO) today commemorated World Environment Day by planting 100 trees in every Angami village under the theme ‘Plant for life.’
AYO President, Kekhrie Pfukha said that thousands of tree saplings have been planted across 104 villages of Angami. This tree plantation was carried out in collaboration with all the village youth bodies and the department of forests and climate change, Nagaland.
More than 10,000 tree saplings have been planted in all the Angami villages, he said.
In Kohima, AYO officials conducted a short programme by planting trees around its office premises. To protect the environment and to safeguard the future generation, AYO will continue to encourage and initiate more tree plantation drives in the coming days, said Pfukha.
Earlier, the programme was chaired by AYO General Secretary, Petevito Nakhro while AYO finance secretary Rocus Rino invoked God’s blessing. AYO Vice President, Neisiezo Kuotsu proposed vote of thanks.
Plant for life
AYO stated that the reality of the changing environment is collectively felt by all of us in our small world similar to any part of the world.
The real definition to mark world environment day has become even more important than ever to contribute towards real stability and sustainable effort or at least strive to ensure our required responsibility to match the environmental issues and challenges in our blocks, villages, and regions through community initiative by responsibly living life for life itself.
We are demanded by nature to create a narrative that would not be merely adaptable for our comfort alone. It takes a whole new level of approach to adapt to its changes and also revisit the restoration of the natural habitat of our fragile environment.
“This is our committed venture to both individually and collectively saving our nature through restoration efforts a way of living so that we may live for our life,” said Pfukha.
“We are blinded and distracted by the political gimmicks and its imbroglio and other additional impediments created by human and have completely lost our focus on what needs to be done for our future. Let us come together as one and cohesively work together for a constructive and progressive future through this initiative reaching out to humility to bring stability in our region,” he added.
