Deputy Secretary, of the International Pythian Council, Biswadeep Gupta highlighted the background, mission and operations of the Modern Pythian Council and said that ‘peace’ is something we aspire to in the NE region and the Pythian movement of Art, Culture and Indigenous Games can bring people closer and make the untold and unheard ways of life globally known. 

He further informed that as he is entrusted to spread the movement in the NE region, the immediate aim is to create Pythian District Councils across NE India with like-minded people.

Biswadeep also said that this Pythian E-sports Tournament started here in Dimapur will be taken across the NE region under the leadership of Dr. David where he will personally facilitate such events in future.
