Imphal, March 30:
Under the aegis of the Manipuri Students' Federation (MSF), the Manipur Students' convention was held today at Manipuri Hindi Parishad, Assembly Road.
By the sideline of the convention, new office bearers of the student body were elected for the term 2007-08.Of the 14 executive members appointed today, MUSU president Ch Rupachandra was elected MSF president, Md Abtabuddin of LMS Law College and RK Suresh of DMCTE as vice-presidents while Th Bomcha of Law College was elected its secretary general.
Speaking on the occasion Dr Dhanabir Laishram stressed on the importance of not abusing power by leaders of civil organisations and student bodies.
Cautioning against indulging in hypocrisy by leaders of such organisations, he said that thoughts and action for student bodies should be based on truth and reality.
Rather than going for the conventional thinking such as God created man, the student leaders should acknowledge that God exists because men exist.
The student leaders should have scientific temperament and be pragmatic in their thinking and accordingly they should teach and lead the youngsters in the right path based on sound rationality and facts.
He further observed that for a social organisation to achieve its political goal, the organisation should go in line with the wish of people and the real circumstances.
The student leaders should also pay attention to their studies, he exhorted.
