Kohima, March 11 (MExN): A farewell programme in honour of Kumar Ramnikant, IAS, outgoing Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kohima was held at the DPDB Hall, Kohima on March 11.
Reflecting on his tenure in Kohima, Ramnikant highlighted key events of 2024, including the Lok Sabha Elections, Urban Local Body (ULB) Elections, Hornbill Festival, and the 16th Finance Commission visit. He described his time as engaging and filled with challenges and learning, a DIPR report stated.
Sharing his insights as a government official, he spoke about two types of approaches—one active, where work is done behind the scenes without immediate rewards but with deep satisfaction, and the other reactive, where actions come after events, often bringing recognition. He encouraged the officers to adopt the active approach, emphasizing its value in bringing peace of mind and fulfillment.
He commended his team of officers in his office, describing them as the best and expressing appreciation for their unwavering support. He also extended gratitude to the Chief Minister, MLAs, Angami Public Organization, Angami Women Organization, Angami Youth Organization, Kohima Village Council, and various organizations for their support.
The outgoing DC added that his transfer was not a final goodbye but a role change, expressing hope for future collaborations.
T Lanusenla Longkumer, NCS, CEO Kohima Municipal Council spoke on behalf of the Heads of Offices. Abeinuo Jasmine Ashao, NCS, SDO (Civil) HQ Kohima chaired the programme. The event featured a special song by the Ülikhrie Folk Group. A prayer of blessing was delivered by Zajamo Odyuo, Associate Pastor, City Church, Kohima.
