Kohima, Dec. 30 (EMN): The 70th annual general conference of the Kigwema Students’ Union (KSU) was held on Sunday with the theme “Innovate, integrate, motivate.” The event was conducted in the village council hall of Kigwema village, in Kohima district.
Whezo Yhokha, principal of Springfield School in Dimapur was the speaker of the event, updates stated on Sunday. He was said to have exhorted the students and leaders at the gathering to ‘inculcate values into their education so as to impact themselves and society.’ He urged them to lead ‘a life of integrity with the quality of being honest, having strong moral principles,’ the updates quoted him as having told the gathering.
‘Persons who lead with integrity are leading confidently and are inspiring people in the long run, vis-a-vis leaders mushrooming and leading people in fear, and with the dominance of power, money or force. That is going to impact both the individual and society,’ Yhokha said.
Calling upon the gathering to “align their visions with value,” according to the updates, the speaker asserted that ‘education without value has no value.’ With “too much competition for career and employment opportunities,” he challenged the students to “choose wisely, be smart and sincere.”
“Education is like a commodity in the market. You will not be picked unless you stand out,” he said. Further, he was said to have opined that people today had “become too conscious of how others judge and see us.” Yhokha urged the gathering to be ‘authentic.’
Another feature to the programme was a debate. The debate was held on the topic of “influx of illegal immigrants in Nagaland,” the updates stated.
