Sharing on the concept of the competition, Programme Director of the “Student of the year 2014”, Avilie Dzüvichü, informed that the criterion of the title was not only based on performance alone.
“The behaviors and characters of the students were also closely observed and discussed. The students were judged basing on their overall performances and all round development and the progress they have made throughout the year,” Dzüvichü said while expressing his confidence that the Naga society will reap the rewards and benefits of the upcoming young generation leaders.
The chief guest Rovihulie Angami in his address, while encouraging the students, stressed on the importance of maintaining a healthy character in order to be a world changer.
“You don’t need to be a six footer to be a world changer, nor all world changers need not necessarily be six footers; but it depends on one’s determination and commitment,” R Angami said. “You need to change yourself first,” he added.
The guest of honour Dr. Helena Belho underscored the mantra of “simple living with high thinking”. Referring to the life of Mother Teresa, she urged the students “not to serve people for money but with love for service to humanity.” Earlier, the programme commenced with the invocation pronounced by Candy, while Mezanuo, finalist Gospel Voice Hunt 2014, Vipito Swu and Kelevituo Yongo also presented special songs.
