EMN
DIMAPUR, AUGUST 6
As part of the ongoing series of Tribal Community Learning Proogramme designed by NEZCC to address the challenges posed by the advent of modernity and the resultant impact created in the society, especially on the urban youth, the fourth group consisting of three resource persons and 25 students from the Kachari community successfully completed their training programme today.
The training programme culminated in a simple function at NEZCC where the students performed a traditional folk song learnt during the training period and shared their experiences as to how they have benefited from such a creative activity.
Director, NEZCC, Lipokmar Tzudir, in his brief address said “it is our primary duty to stake our claim in the overall understanding of the nation’s composite cultural heritage. He exhorted the participants to take pride in their rich cultural heritage and take up the challenge of ensuring its continuity. The director further urged the leaders of the Dimasa Kachari community to give importance in the safeguard and promotion of the Dimasa kingdom ruins which is now lying unattended.” He thanked the resource persons and the Kachari community leaders for their support and cooperation extended in making the training programme a success. He also gave away the certificates to the participants.
In this series, the next group of three experts and 25 students from the Lotha community will commence their learning programme for the next ten days beginning on August 7 in the same venue, informed Talinokcha, joint director NEZCC.
