Speaking on the theme “towarutem” , director Vigilance and Anti-corruption Nagaland, I. Meyionen Jamir said it was an appropriate and befitting theme for the occasion as it described the most useful period of a man’s life where one had acquired adequate knowledge, gained enough experience in life, built up oneself in financial resources, exposed to different situations and gathered enough confidence to tackle any issues.
Jamir said 50 years for a society or an individual could be termed as solid, total and full which represented maturity, strength and completeness in life.
He said “towarutem” stage was the best time in one’s life to make any noteworthy/valuable contributions to fellow citizens. He reminded the members that it was time for introspection, evaluation and to make a commitment to broaden our horizons and set a new vision to work for the betterment of society. He challenged the gathering that at 50 years old, the union should not just wait and watch things happening around us but must assume the responsibilities to be action-oriented people who work for change and better future for present and future generations.
