Chümoukedima, August 12 (MExN): The Youth Development Specialisation of North East Institute of Social Sciences and Research (NEISSR), Chümoukedima observed International Youth Day on the theme ‘Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond.’
Rev Fr G L Khing, Vice-Principal, NEISSR exhorted the trainees to be resourceful for the benefit of society. He stated that the youth are “the Now of society.” They are the best resources of the nation. They must live constructively and engage with the given task, and take up responsibility to brighten the face of society. The future should not be built at the expense of the present. The “now-present” is the most important time for the youth. The various talents and potentials must be pooled towards the nation-building.
He cited the students' participation as an example of resources that are visible and encouraging. The International Youth Day 2025 emphasised the necessity of local contribution for the SDGs and beyond. The spark of this mission can be fulfilled by the youth of the now.
He cited the National Youth Policy 2021 to throw light on quality education, employment and entrepreneurship, youth leadership and development, health, sports and fitness and social justice.
The programme featured ‘news headlines, personal sharing, special song and thought of the day.’
