We need to usher in peace in the region and particularly in Nagaland. We must perform and contribute to the country's greatness."
KV Pusa, MLA and NPCC president in his message called upon the youth to keep up the spirit of integration as they are the future of the nation. "The youth fest, which focuses on national integration and cultural exchange, is of foremost importance. The youth of today is the future of India and a strong youth spells a strong future," he said.
