Ride to Chungtiayimsen, Tsurangkong Range, Nagaland
A short Sunday morning ride to Tsurangkong Range, Mokukchung District, Nagaland from New Sonowal in Assam.
Tzurangkong Range is one of the smallest ranges in Mokokchung District in the Indian state of Nagaland. It consists of mainly new villages formed from other older villages of other ranges. It is also the lowest range (also known as the Naga Foothills) and borders Assam, an Indian state. The range is first encountered by travellers along the Mokokchung-Mariani road at the Nagaland Gate (or the Tzutapela Gate, in Local Dialect). It consists of villages like Ao Senden, Ao Sungkhum, Chungtiayimsen (or New Chungtia), Watiyim, Longpayimsen, Moayimti, Medemyim, Longtho, etc. On penetrating deeper into the Hills, this range ultimately gives way to the Japukong and Changkikong ranges. Its nearest sub-district headquarters is the Mangkolemba town.

Speech at 37th OKM Conference, Ungma (Mokokchung,Nagaland) - Temsutula Imsong
Spoke on My Vision at the conference. The speech is in Ao dialect.(Chungli ,Ungma) Summary is given below -
“Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you”.
All my life, I have realized the importance of Creative imagination, which is required to raise new questions, explore new possibilities and to look at old problems from a new angle to make real advances in society.
Since the theme of this OKM conference is- Exceeding Possibilities, can we look beyond our tribal identities, all the while being immensely proud of them,and provide tangible solutions for the problems that have been so beautifully discussed and presented by young people in this conference.
• Can we resolve to provide simple,economical and yet exemplary solutions to the water scarcity that is faced by almost everyone here.
• Can we resolve to do everything in our capacity,in terms of correspondence to some action on ground,to make sure that our region has the best connectivity in terms of four lane roads and also a well connected railway station at Mokokchung?
• Can we resolve to do everything in our capacity to ensure basic first aid facilities,telemedicine facilities and testing facilities in our villages so that they don't have to run around when the need arises.
• Can we resolve to be instrumental in initiating the process of setting up world class educational institution either government or private and also by the devoting sometime in teaching those who are needy in subjects that we are good in?
• Can we resolve to make sure that our youngsters who are good in sports get an opportunity to train and perform at National and international stage.
• Can we ensure that all our farmers have access to best technology,soil testing facilities & best prices reaching their door steps.
• Can we make sure that by the time we meet for the next OKM conference,Ongpangkong range is declared as the cleanest range in entire India with the best waste management and other eco friendly practices which serve as an example for everyone to emulate.
When we meet in Kubza for the next OKM conference, let’s work hard to showcase our achievements on the above mentioned points.
Now the question arises how do we do that? In this era of technological advancement,with their WhatsApp,Facebook,Instagram and other social media accounts,almost everyone is a walking newspaper and television channel. And I am really impressed with the drafting skills of our people. Let's start with correspondence like mails and letters in every possible Forum and avenue. I have decided to devote myself to this and I'd appreciate anyone joining me in these efforts.
OKM 35 17-19 JAN 2012.wmv
The OKM 35 was held at Aliba from 17-19 January 2012 under the theme Upholding Values. Despite the heavy downpour and the 4 degrees Celsius temprature, the delegates got together to actively participate in all the events. The conference lasted for three days with an expenditure of about 60,000 USD.
Some snippets from the speakers during the conference:
Samsung comes from Korea.
Nikon comes from Japan. Amway
comes from the US. So, what's your
pick? Korean? Japanese? American?
Whatever your pick, uphold your
moral values.
Ongpangkong range cannot survive in ISOLATION. Where is work ethics in Nagaland?Too wild to be tamed? Ponder.
What's upholding values? Knowing God is the biggest value. That is life's start and end.
Life's a balance sheet. Assets and liabilities of human capital, critical infrastructure, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, literacy and livelihood. Balance them well. Is OKM an asset or a liability?
