A state-of-the-art auditorium at Tetso College christened Lorin Hall (in memory of the college’s founder Dr. PS Lorin) was inaugurated on Monday by general secretary, Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC), Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho.
The inauguration programme commenced with the unveiling of the building plaque and a dedicatory prayer by Rev. Keyho, followed by the processional and watering of the ‘Tree of Excellence’ by the various school heads, an update stated.
Addressing the dignitaries and student congregation, Rev. Keyho remembered the late founder Dr. PS Lorin and the humble beginnings of the college, taking late Lorin’s life as an example of God’s faithfulness.
“As a man of service who persevered, Dr. PS Lorin embodied the idea that our Christian faith demands deeds and not just words, and that we have to take risks in life to achieve something," he said.
Rev. Keyho exhorted the students that human beings were made for a purpose and to fulfill a purpose given by God. "We are beautiful in our own way, and that we are brought here by the will of God," he added.
The college anthem ‘Strive for excellence’ was also launched during the programme in a special performance by Tetso Choir with composer Nise Meruno, acclaimed pianist and Yamaha artist.
Earlier, a piano instrumental was presented by Christine Tsela, an English honours student, while director, Tetso College, Kvulo Lorin, gave a brief overview on the conceptualisation and materialisation of the building in his commencement speech.
The 450-plus seater multipurpose auditorium complete with state-of-the-art SMD full color concert stage LED screen panel, audio, lighting, and air-conditioned seating, will cater to large meetings, talk shows, presentations, and performances of the college.
