A memorial service to honour the life, service, leadership and dedication of Late La. Ganesan, Hon’ble Governor of Nagaland, was held at Raj Bhavan, Kohima, on 16th August 2025.

Speaking at the ceremony, Sharingain Longkumer, Hon’ble Speaker of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, described the gathering as a fellowship to honour the Governor as a sign of love and remembrance. Expressing deep grief and sorrow, he noted that the passing of the Governor has left a huge vacuum. He further informed that the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Ministers and Chief Secretary were representing the people of Nagaland at Chennai, where the last rites of the Governor were being performed, while members in Kohima gathered at Raj Bhavan in remembrance. The Speaker also highlighted the Naga custom that the home of the departed is never left empty and in keeping with that tradition, the fellowship was conducted to express solidarity with the Governor’s family. He thanked the elected members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly for their presence, which, he said, was a profound gesture of respect to the constitutional head of the State.

Members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly attended the solemn occasion and joined in paying tribute to the departed dignitary, where they also paid floral tributes.

The programme was chaired by Rev Izieteilung Tering, State Chaplain.
