The Chakhesang Youth Front (CYF) today celebrated its silver jubilee at Phek town under the theme ‘Retrospect and Revive.’
Gracing the occasion as special guest, Minister for Planning and Coordination, Land Revenue and Parliamentary Affairs Neiba Kronu said that Phek district would soon have one of the best roads in Nagaland with the recent approval of several road projects.
The work for two lane road- Kohima to Jessami via Pfutsero will start by December, he said.
Two other road projects - Phek to Chozuba and Lozaphuhu to Avangkhu, bordering Myanmar have also been approved and with the completion of the roads, the economy for people in the area will be boosted, Kronu said.
Further, DPR for Power Project along Tizu valley, which has potential for 24 MW, is under preparation.
Kronu informed that Phek district can do extremely well in agricultural activities.
In this, he assured marketing linkages for the farmers of the Phek district to sell their produce outside the district and sought the cooperation of the Chakhesang frontal organisations for the success of the developmental activities in the Phek district.
Kronu also appealed the public to stay united and exercise positive attitudes to ensure that no space is given to things that would hamper developmental activities in the district.
Also speaking on the occasion as the guest of honour, MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu saluted the founding members of CYF, which was formed in 1995 to defend and protect the rights of the Chakhesang community.
He called upon the youth to adopt good work culture and become self dependent and self sufficient.
Let us minimize the volume of depending on others, Azo said as he encouraged the youth to work hard and live a worthy and prosperous life.
He also told the youth to know the value of work ethics and erase the word ' laziness' from their dictionary.
“Laziness will take us nowhere. There is no place for lazy people in this competitive world,” he maintained.
CYF president Lhuvesayi Lohe said that CYF has made positive contributions in bringing stability and progress among the youth over the past 25 years and has potentialities for even greater accomplishment in the years ahead.
He challenged the youth to come together and work for the better care of CYF family with dedication for the betterment of the society and reach newer heights.
