The Pfuchatsumia Students Union (PSU) held its Literary Day on Saturday at Marocchino Hall, Christ King Church and GMS, P Khel, Kohima Village on the theme “Pages of Tomorrow”.
Special Guest, Dzüvinuo Theünuo, Director, Department of Information & Public Relations stressed on the importance of living in the fear of the lord and cautiousness of time management. She encouraged the students to be more proactive in life and not just in their books and academics but be very wise in using technology and social media as technologies and gadgets can influence us in the wrong path if used unwisely.

Theünuo also emphasized the importance of being an avid reader, not only focusing on academic books but exploring various genres of interest. Reading fosters wisdom and provides an edge over others in the long run. She encouraged students to realize that the potential for gaining knowledge lies within them and that self-imposed limitations hinder their growth. She further advised them to stay positive, resilient, make time for reading and relaxation, strive for excellence, and avoid procrastination, as it obstructs progress towards achieving goals.
Ruokuovituo Mere, the President of PSU, emphasized the significance of the Literary Day as the most important event in their annual calendar.
