DIMAPUR, Oct 21 - Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland Neiphiu Rio today said although Nagas have transformed from the era of head hunting, they still have many years to be matured and to live with wisdom.
The MP also said Nagas stand with 80 per cent plus literacy rate, yet the knowledge gained is half job done. He was addressing the 2nd day of the golden jubilee celebration of Diphupar Naga Youth Organisation at Local Ground, Diphupar.
Being patriotic, fearing law of the land, respecting elders, having wisdom of life, knowing our rich traditions will build life in an individual�s behaviour and habits and that will ultimately build a vibrant society, he reminded.
�If we unite and understand to co-exist with one another we can change for the better and have a better future,� Rio added.
He observed that golden jubilee celebration is a time for reflecting on the 50 years of achievements and failures and also to retrospect and celebrate the achievements. It is also a time to take the challenges to inspire one another and move forward for a better future, he maintained.
