Informing about this, SC Varechan, director of The Voice of Tehillah (TVT) managing team, said many of today’s educated youths have left their home towns for different purposes and are now earning their livelihood on their own. In such situation, there are chances of taking wrongful steps.

“Considering such alarming situation into account, we in the TVT managing team, which is a Christian home organization thought of sharing the idea to follow the positive footprint of our elders to the younger generation through a film,” said Varechan, adding, “Thus, the film ‘Pheichon’ comes out as a result with Shaingam Ngakang’s story.”

In fact, TVT managing team aims to encourage the young artistes and help them at certain levels to stand on their own feet by exploring their creativities, he felt.
