DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 1
North East Institute of Social Sciences & Research (NEISSR) Deportes- its annual sports week- kicks off on September 30 at Don Bosco Hr. Sec. School, Dimapur.
Gracing the event Tikaram Dhakal, founding member of Gorkha Union and a member of International Rotary Club said “It is very evident that Nagas are not behind others in field of games and sports. But it is a sad fact that many of the talents get wasted due to indiscipline and bad habits’.
Dhakal shared his experiences about being a part of the management that took the Nagaland team for Subroto Cup to New Delhi. However, he lamented the fact that none of those boys could take their talents and gift to the next level; the main reason behind being the lack of discipline. He exhorted the young social work trainees to be discipline not only in physical games and sports but also in their chosen mission to help, serve and make the society a better place to live.
Anil Joseph, Asst. Professor, NEISSR in his keynote address, stressed on obedience as the core of sportsmanship. ‘Every game and field of sports has rules which should be adhered to strictly. So too, the field of social work can be compared to a game where there are rules and guidelines which should be followed’, he pointed out.
He requested the students to let that excitement and joy of games and sports to become infectious and reflected even in their personal lives.
In his concluding remarks, Rev. Dr. C.P. Anto, Principal, NEISSR exhorted the students to cultivate the spirit of true sportsmanship. He also congratulated the NEISSR students’ council and the sport in charge for planning out the programme in the best way possible. He also exudes confidence that the sports event will help in building up the ‘we-feeling’ among the students.
Rev. Fr. Joshua Gangmei SDB, Principal, Don Bosco Hr. Sec. School, Dimapur invoked God’s blessing for the success of the programme.
The event will culminate with NEISSR’s Foundation Day programme on October 2. The foundation day programme will include showcase of the traditional and cultural richness of the different tribes of Nagaland.
