Kohima: A Shyerhunlo Lorin wants the Youth Association of Nagaland back in business. As the former assistant general secretary and finance head, he sent an appeal on August 14 for pioneers and past office bearers to step up. The group has been idle for years. It left a major gap in how the youth organize and represent themselves.
Lorin noted the organization once served as "a unique forum and platform for youth leadership, community service, and socio-cultural development." That mission stalled recently. Circumstances outside of their control forced the group into a state where it "slowly began to stagnate."
The current lack of a unified youth body hurts. Society faces high unemployment, rising substance abuse, and social unrest. Lorin insists he is ready to work on a transparent restart. He cannot do it alone. He is asking for the guidance of elders to keep the process credible and enduring.
Lorin urged senior members to join consultation meetings. He hopes to build a framework that reflects the group's original goals. He believes "your collective wisdom will be a guiding element in rebuilding the organisational framework." The goal is to make the YAN a united force for Naga welfare once again.
