Encouraging the youth to identify and nurture their hidden talents, he said dedication and discipline could help transform sports into a sustainable livelihood. He highlighted that the modern sports industry offers vast opportunities for those who remain focused and committed.
In his capacity as Chairman of DPDB Shamator, Yimkhiung also stressed the importance of youth-led development for regional growth. He challenged PSU members to use the 25th anniversary as a launching pad for excellence, not only in academics but also in sports and physical resources.
Congratulating the union on completing 25 years of service, MLA and General Secretary of the Nagaland Football Association and Chairman of the NSL Governing Body, Benei M Lamthiu, lauded PSU’s emphasis on sports. Addressing athletes and youth, he described sports as a vital tool for community building and urged players to uphold fair play and unity, noting that discipline learned on the field is essential for achieving life goals.
