Natwar Thakkar was the founder of Nagaland Gandhi Ashram at Chuchuyimlang in Mokokchung distirct
A village in Nagaland’s Mokokchung district celebrated the 89th birthday of Gandhian Natwar Thakkar as Noble Deeds Day in remembrance of his selfless service to the Naga society.
Popular as ‘Nagaland’s Gandhi’, Mr. Thakkar died in October 2018. He founded the Nagaland Gandhi Ashram at Chuchuyimlang in 1955.
“…since then, he had been engaged in promoting peace and national and emotional integration, implementing various initiatives aimed at socio-economic development of the region through Gandhian ideals and principles,” the Chuchuyimlang Students’ Union (CSU) said in a statement.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
