The CM lauded the Salesian Family for transforming the lives of the region. "It's a moment to celebrate what has happened and also a moment to look back and think about how things have changed, and have been better, of how we were in the journey as both an individual and an organization, to plan where we will want to be, and not just for an organization," said the Chief Minister. Sangma expressed his concern over the future of the young and said that if the right investment is not made in youngsters, we are heading towards a very difficult time in the future. Fr. Anthony Kharkongor welcomed the gathering. Centenary coordinators Fr. AL Jose and Fr. Anthony Kharkongor felicitated all the guests who attended the Program. Meanwhile, the director of Don Bosco Youth Centre, Fr. Michael Makri presented the song 'We jubilate' and introduced the tribute made by young people of the Northeast.
