Dr. M Parivallal, Director of the Training People, speaking at the inaugural function lauded the trainees for being nominated to attend the three days training programme. He added that the training is the first ever special training held by the Election Commission of India in Nagaland for selective district officials. He assured the trainees that the three day programme will be multi-dimensional and unique.
He said the training is the brain child of the Director General of Election Commission, Sudip Jain. He said trainings were conducted earlier by Election Commission focusing only in the system, procedures and conducting the election in the free and fair means. He, however, said the trainings after 2015 were focused on people behind the systems. He said the training programme lined up will be unlike those trainings held previously but will be fun filled and with lots of interesting activities.
Terming elections as a celebration, he said elections will be called festival of democracy in the days to come. In order to make election happy and interesting, he said the theme of the ongoing training was coined as ‘Team leadership & motivation’ by the Election Commission of India across the country. This is a nonstop 72 hours of residential training programme. However, he said in Nagaland it will be just 12 hours of nonstop different level of training.
He further added that the training will be more of physiological training with relaxed and more fun filled activities. He said that the concept of the training is to talk less on election system and procedures but focus more on the trainees to become a better person then they were before. He said the training will be registered online and all the training process will be monitored online and the training will be evaluated with the level of participation, learning and understanding at the end of three day training programme. He urged all to participate actively at all levels and he assured the trainees that it will be a life changing experience.
Additional Director, ATI, K Kevin Zehol, expressed disappointment to observe less participation from most of the districts as the training will be beneficial for the upcoming 2018 elections. Talking on the concept of clean election, which is the need of the hour in Nagaland, he said that if corruption can be done away with, then much development can come about in the State.
Stating that officers will be playing greater roles in the coming elections, he hoped that the training will help the officials participating in the training to realise the effectiveness of team work synergy and help bring out bolder officers and administrators for the coming elections.
Inaugurating the training programme, candle was lighted by Dr. M Parivallal, Director the Training People, while short speech was delivered by N Moa Aier, Chief Electoral Officer (officiating) and the vote of thanks was proposed by Vekho Vero, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer.
Administrative officers and election officers from the different districts are participating in the training. The programmr was chaired by Khekugha Sema.
