Co-convenor Kesosul Christopher Ltu said that the idea of conducting sessions with the five legislators as speakers is to create a common platform for legislators to deliberate on student welfare issues and at the same time for the students to learn.
Participants for ‘Miss ANCSU’ beauty pageant, a special session for women will be choreographed by Glamours Hub Entertainment Nagaland director Sasongdangba Yaden. However, the panel of judges was not disclosed.
Besides cultural presentations and traditional games, students will be debating on the topic “the impact of social media is hampering the younger generation”. A new team of ANCSU officials will also be elected on November 8.
