Dimapur, Jan. 2: The 45th annual session of Baimho Students’ Union (BSU) was held at Baimho village from December 28- 30, with Andrew Ahoto, chairman cum principal of Livingstone Foundation Higher Secondary School, Dimapur, as the chief guest.
Speaking at the inaugural programme of the three-day sessions, chief guest called upon the community to remain united to usher in the development of the region instead of indulging in money based and cheap vote-bank politics. He also urged upon the gathering to choose a candidate on the basis of his merit so that he would work for the benefit of the people and bring development. Speaking on the sidelines of skill-management, he remarked that a society without skill will ultimately kill the society itself.
