Dimapur, April 30 (EMN): A five-day inter-school sports tournament organised by the Aghunato Town Students Union (ATSU) kick-started at Aghunato on Tue. April 30, according to an update from APRO Aghunato, received here on Tuesday.
Addressing the gathering as the chief guest, EAC Aghunato, Echung said that in the modern education system, sports has been an integral part of the education so as to make education interesting, tension free and enjoyable.
He also said that by faring well in sports activities a person receives worldwide recognition and lifelong achievement. "Grab the opportunity and excel yourself." Echung encouraged the students.
Apart from studies, there are various ways where a student can excel and explore the hidden talents.
Some students may have the gift but may not be able to explore the talent due to lack of confidence, and this kind of event might be the right platform for such students, he said requesting the organisers to identify and appreciate their talents.
"In today's world, most people have become selfish and pay lesser attention to community feeling, so let this kind of platform bring our children come together, work together and succeed as a team."
The chief guest then declared the tournament open by kicking the ball.
