The HSA Freshers’ Meet this year is remarkable in that it witnessed , for its fist time in Silchar, a Seminar on Education with the specially invited Dr. Immanuel Zarzosang Varte, Ph D( Anthropology), NEHU Shillong as Resource Person. Besides, a good number of Special Invitees, mentionably, Mr. Nilotpol Choudhury, Executive Director, Sankha Group of Publication, Silchar also graced the occasion. The programme starts at 9.30 A.M. henceforth several items like, the much awaited Freshers Introduction; an encouraging exhortation speech from Ralkapkung Hmar, Programme Executive of AIR, Silchar; and a very informative and challenging speech from Mr Choudhury continues in the first session. In the second session of the programme, the Chief Guest Dr. L. Fimate and Resource person Dr. Z. Varte presented their seminar papers: “Modern education and identity” and “Career Counselling” respectively, which are very very informative, inspiring and encouraging for the students. All the gatherings in the programme today are entertained by the popular Hmar Rock star Laltuoklien from Mizoram besides many talented local artistes.
The programme ended late in the evening with the so-called traditional Hmar dinner-’Vawksa Sizo Hmepawk Ruoi’ after which the gathering dispersed, eagerly awaiting the occasion to come next year. The Hmar Students Association is a non-political organisation who has been active in the valley in bringing communal harmony and even in promoting good relation with its neighbouring states in the region.
