A press release received here stated that a programme was held where Dr Joyce Angami, Advisor NAPAD exhorted the gathering with the importance of giving.

Dr Tali Imsong, President, NAPAD in his speech acknowledged the benevolent service rendered by the Director of the Old Age Home, Kohima to the society especially the old age people. He said that the old people who are in the Home should not feel distress and isolated because their children or the relatives are not caring them and let them be in the Home. In fact they should feel more privileged and happy that they are in the Old Age Home with proper care and the fact that they are in the Kohima Town, they are in quick access to the Hospitals to have proper medical treatment in times of need. He extolled the Director for her courage, dedication and care she has given to the elderly people.
