The Angami Gazetted Officers Krotho (AGOK) held its 39th Annual Conference at RCEMPA, Jotsoma on 11th February 2022 with Advisor, Urban Development & Municipal Affairs, Dr. Neikiesalie Nicky Kire as the Special Guest.
Advisor, Dr. Kire appealed AGOK to help and work towards giving back to the community, and suggested that they should come up with a model similar to the District Planning & Development Board's Village Adoption Committee where, in each constituency a village is adopted and different departments collaborate and work together to help and assist in development activities. Dr. Kire raised the need for better collaboration and coordination amongst AGOK and also with the state legislative representatives as well in order to further help the community.
President, Angami Public Organisation, Razouvotuo Khroitsu addressing the conference said that the AGOK members are in a position to mirror/portray the best qualities of the Angamis in their workplace, and reminded them to be more concerned and helpful.
