Kohima: Students in Tuensang gathered at the Town Hall on November 14 to mark Children's Day. The Department of School Education and the Nagaland Education Project, known as NECTAR, hosted the event. They themed the day Roots and Wings: Celebrating our Heritage, Inspiring our Future.
Superintendent of Police Longpoksang Lemtur spoke to the crowd. He pushed students to stay disciplined, work hard, and respect their elders. Lemtur noted that while modern students have better technology than past generations, they must maintain core values like honesty and personal responsibility. Discipline is about self-control, not just following rules. He told students to manage their time well and attend classes faithfully.
Lemtur challenged the youth to learn their mother tongues and local customs. He emphasized that diversity should bridge gaps instead of creating them. "When we exchange our cultures, we exchange knowledge, experiences, ideas and friendships," he said.
The event featured several performances. GMS Station-2 students performed O-Siangso. GHS Chaba students showcased Hok Chung Nyensang Chia. Students from GMS Post Office presented Living Heritage and Longmi Khi. The GHSS Tuensang students rounded out the performances with Tradigraphy, a tale titled Tale from Our Roots, a male voice act, and an ethnic show.
Nasen Kejong chaired the event. Behola Sangtam provided the welcome note. Thrilichem, the organizing committee convenor, closed the day with a note of thanks.
