Imphal, November 05 2023:
Heingang United Clubs' Organisation (HUCO) organised the 13th Educational Meritorious and Sports Achievement Award 2023-2024 at Heingang Makha Leikai Model Club, on Sunday.
During the function, 36 students who secured high marks in the class XII examination conducted by Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur (COHSEM) and 42 students who performed excellently in the class X examination conducted by Board of Secondary Education Manipur (BSEM) along with 42 sportspersons who brought laurels for the state were honoured with gifts.
Speaking at the event, HUCO general secretary S Tondang stressed the importance for the present generation to remember and follow the customs and traditions preserved by our forefathers.
While opining that absence of sense of love and trust among people of the present generation is due to their lack of knowledge of our history, he also said that the trend of abusing drugs by the youth today when they face any difficulties in their life or when staring at failure, should be given up as indulging in drugs will not guarantee them success, make them happy or achieve whatever they desire.
The youth should understand that drugs will not give them anything other than taking their lives away, he cautioned.
Tondang also urged the people to shed away all differences and work together for saving Manipur under a single united command, lest the enemy will take advantage of the disunity.
The function was also attended by Minor Irrigation chief engineer H Brajendra, Rural Engineering Department additional chief engineer H Shantakumar, Tourism director W Ibohal, DSP L Santos, ZEO Zone II M Premchand, DMU assistant professor Dr L Sanjoy Meetei, MSCB branch manager K Romi, ENGG assistant director P Joy, MSPDCL manager W Bailo, HUCO president in-charge Dr T Shyamkumar and Model Club president H Ibotombi as presidium members.
