Yemhi Memorial
College: Yemhi Memorial College conducted its second edition of the Yemhi
Cultural and Literary Fest on March 7 at the college premises, with Kahuto
Chishi Sumi, spokesperson of the Nagaland GB Federation, as the special guest.
Speaking on the occasion, Kahuto reminded the students that
culture does not necessarily mean only food, dress, or other outward
expressions. He highlighted that culture means value — value that was
transmitted to individuals by their forefathers.
Stating that the values of honesty, dignity, and hard work
are the best gifts to outsmart corruption and dishonesty, he encouraged the
younger generation to uphold those values instilled by their ancestors. He
expressed that every individual is here for a reason and articulated that when
one does good, one can truly influence others to do the same.
He stressed the preservation of indigenous languages, which
he believes is an invaluable asset, and urged the importance of literature in
society.
The literary competition comprised a poetry contest based on
the poem ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’ by Rabindranath Tagore. ‘Voice of
Yemhians’ Season 1 was introduced, with several participants singing their
favourite songs. Indigenous games competitions, including fat eating, snail
eating, and bamboo pole climbing, were also held.

and Training Centre (NTTC), as the main speaker for the inaugural function.
According to a press release, in his address, John
emphasised that skill training is hugely dependent on disciplined self-practice
and stated that the main objective of providing such training is to promote
entrepreneurship.

advantage of the opportunities available to them. John further stressed that
graduates with additional certificates of skills have an advantage when seeking
employment.
