KHUZAMA, NOVEMBER 14
The Southern Angami Gazetted Officers’ Krotho (SAGOK) held its general conference on Saturday at the Village Council Hall, Khuzama.
Former MLA, Dr. Dietho-o Yhoshü who was the main speaker at the conference, said the Southern Angami is cradled in nature’s lap and its people are pampered but they should not compromise their endowment. As members of an intellectual organization, he urged upon SAGOK to strive to bear the flag and lead the people of the area. He called upon the members to assess themselves in three different perspectives- what they think of themselves, what others think of them, and how God sees them.
Dr. Dietho-o also talked about the importance of garnering the ability to size up reality and being prepared to “ride the tides”.
He emphasized the need to do away with affluence and excesses and living within one’s means, to help the downtrodden, and revive the community-building traditional values. Stating that the mark of an educated mind is to be able to entertain any kind of thoughts and ideas, he called upon SAGOK members to think out of the box and take ideal decisions so as to move forward and set exemplary roles for a better future.
Angami Public Organization (APO) president, Dr. Vilhusa Seleyi also exhorted the gathering and urged upon the SAGOK members to support APO in its endeavours and give their valuable advice where necessary so that they could all contribute towards a better environment and a better future.
The programme was chaired by SAGOK president, Tuolie Seleyi. Later in the day, the organization elected its new team of office bearers for the tenure 2015-17. The new team will be led by Nosazol Charles as the president.
Currently, SAGOK has a total of 705 members including 544 who are in service and 161 retired officers.
