KOHIMA, NOVEMBER 22
The Constitution and Rules and Regulations of the Nagaland Wrestling Association (NWA) were released by Parliamentary Secretary for Higher Education and SCERT, Deo Nukhu in a simple function at Hotel Japfü this evening while recognizing that in the absence of proper rules and regulations, things tend to go wrong. The Rules and Regulations Booklet released today will be first applied in the Hornbill Wrestling Tournament this year, which has been scheduled to begin from December 4, 2013 at Kisama.Addressing the gathering, Parliamentary Secretary for Higher Education and SCERT, Deo Nukhu said that writing the constitution of any organization is not an easy task and that unless somebody takes extra pain, it is not possible to write a constitution. In this regard, he complimented the Nagaland Wrestling Association for their effort in bringing out two important booklets while also stating the importance of the constitution, which will guide the organization. He added in games and sports, it is very important that we have rules and regulations.
He said it is nothing but a question of discipline in sport while explaining further that “if you follow the rules and regulations, you are a disciplined person.” In the meantime, he suggested that instead of Nagaland Wrestling Association, it would be more appropriate to use “Naga Wrestling Association” in order to also include Nagas who are our immediate Naga tribes from outside Nagaland state. He further suggested that there be two classified groups, namely light weight group and heavy group in Naga style wrestling to be more fair.
He hoped that with the introduction of the Constitution and Rules and Regulations, the organization set up will become better and the players will become more disciplined and do better. He said that our young people have the potential to do well and come up to the national and international level while urging for adequate training facilities and infrastructure.
The redrafting committee of the Constitution were Mosonyi Domeh, Neivikuolie Khatsü and Neikhrolo Khalo while the Wrestling Rule Drafting Committee members included Neivikuolie Khatsü, Hukhoneyi Soho, Visasielie Suohu, Vekhriyi Chuzho, K.Mark Zeliang and NWA President respectively.
