Chümoukedima, June 19 (MExN): Norman Putsure College, Chümoukedima hosted the Young Indians Parliament ‘THALIR’ on the theme “Tourism-Led Economic Development” on Friday.
The event saw the participation from 61 students representing six schools from across the region: Greenwood Hr Sec School, Hebron Hr Sec School, St Joseph Hr Sec School, Charis High Academy, North Town Hr Sec School, and Pilgrim Hr Sec School.

Speaking after the sessions, the judges commended the students for their confidence and understanding of a complex policy issue.
Following intense rounds of debate and rebuttals, the 15 best debaters were selected on merit. These students will now represent the region at the upcoming Northeast Young Indians Parliament, where they will compete with peers from across the Northeast on state and regional policy issues.
The event concluded with a brief review session during which the judges shared their observations and feedback on the parliamentary proceedings. This was followed by the distribution of certificates to all participants, with special recognition accorded to the 15 selected debaters. The vote of thanks was delivered by Saneinuo Putsure, Managing Director of Norman Putsure College.
