Nagaland Governor PB Acharya on Thursday called upon the people to empower and improve the lives of villagers. Inaugurating the fourth three-day Thuwuni- the ultimate outdoor festival, at Pughoboto local ground as chief guest, Acharya said that though the festival was celebrated to thank God, it also showed how the people could be united to keep alive their identity and stay connected to their roots.

Besides the need to change the education system, he also stressed on giving importance to cherish and preserve one’s own mother tongue. Acharya urged the people not to be self-centered and remarked that, unless everyone woke up and changed a mindset, India would never be strong. He also encouraged the people of Pughoboto to establish a private college. Mentioning that each village was unique, he congratulated the organizers, local MLA Y Vikheho Swu and the entire team, including Swachh Bharat brand ambassador and convener of the festival, Alobo Naga, for organizing such a wonderful concept for the people.
