Dimapur, Dec. 14 (EMN): Peletkie Students’ Union (PSU) observed its golden jubilee on December 14 in Peletkie village under Peren district on the theme “Progress in unity” with the state information commissioner, GH Ramlia, as the special guest.
Speaking at the celebration, Ramlia, who was also the founder of PSU, opined that PSU was founded due to various reasons. He reminded that PSU was formed in 1968 to install peace and tranquillity following chaos and infighting amongst clans of the village in the 50s and 60s. He stated that PSU was founded by handful of people during the time when education was not given due importance by villagers.
“To educate the villagers on cleanliness and hygienic living, students of those days formed the PSU so as to encourage the villagers the advantage of clean and healthy living,” he added. He maintained that PSU was formed with one woman in its first team to provide equal platform to women during the time when women folk were not given equal responsibility as men folk. He went on to say that PSU was formed to eradicate negative mindset of the people and to replace with unity.
To achieve success in life Ramlia has insisted on sincerity, dedication and courage. He also encouraged the students to not be distracted by any force in facing competitive exams but urged them to set a target with dedication to achieve their goals. He urged them to be able to receive criticism from all angles with patience so as to be successful person in future.
He urged the congregation to be ambitious and embark upon their journey with sincerity, stating that God will never forsake anybody who toils and works with dedication and sincerity. He also called upon the parents to discipline their children from the very nascent stage thereby leading their children to the path of success.
In conclusion, he appealed the neighbouring village students’ leaders to uphold the spirit of oneness and the feeling of understanding with each other and continue to live as good neighbours.

He appealed the students to compete with others through sincerity and truthfulness. He apprised the students to earn the trust of the villagers, without which he termed that the qualification they have acquired would be of no value.
