In an age where power often overshadows purpose, one humble act of kindness can remind us what true leadership really means.
Minister P. Bashang Chang, who serves as the Minister for NPWD (Housing & Mechanical Engineering), Government of Nagaland, recently showed that real leadership is not about titles or positions — it is about touching lives.
On 29th September, during his visit to W. Yimtokiu Yim of Shiponger Village, now residing at Naga United Village, Minister Bashang Chang encountered a story that moved him deeply.
W. Yimtokiu Yim, a father of four, collects recyclables every day to ensure his children can go to school. His hands may be weary, but his heart remains strong — filled with the unshakable love of a father who refuses to surrender to poverty. His story is one of quiet courage, determination, and hope against all odds.
Deeply touched by this man’s resilience, Minister Bashang Chang extended financial assistance, bringing comfort and encouragement to someone who has silently borne the weight of hardship. In that simple yet powerful act, the Minister reminded us that true greatness lies in empathy.
The story was shared by Minister P. Bashang Chang himself on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where it touched many hearts across Nagaland and beyond. We at Dimapur Today could not ignore this story, for it deserves to be brought to the masses — not just as news, but as a testament to genuine leadership and compassion.
True leaders never forget the poor, the broken, and the voiceless. They do not lead only from offices and meetings; they lead from the heart. Minister Bashang Chang’s compassion shines as a beacon of hope, reminding us that leadership is not measured by authority, but by acts of humanity.
In a world often divided by privilege, this act of kindness bridges hearts. It calls upon every leader — political, social, or spiritual — to remember that service to the poor is the highest form of leadership.
May this story inspire others to look around, to lend a hand, and to lead with love. Because when a leader stoops to lift the weak, humanity itself rises.
