Rev Honito Sema, while speaking at the inaugural session, said it was a huge milestone and that it was the best moment for the people of Asukhomi.

He expounded on Psalms 75 and further conveyed his gratitude to the elders present in the jubilee celebration.

Toshiho Kiba, Wing Commander Indian Air Force, delivered greetings and said initially the Union only had a few members but today they have become large in number.

Kiba told the gathering that even as they celebrate 75 years of the establishment of the Asukhomi Students’ Union, they should thank the pioneers for their sacrifice. He reminded the gathering that in the olden days, people used to wear half-pants and walk barefoot while today’s world is of a “smart generation”. Remembering the work of the pioneers, he told the gathering that they should respect and be grateful to the pioneers.
