Kohima: Baptist College hosted the 3rd Sociological Dialogue on Saturday at Rivenburg Chapel Hall in Kohima. The event focused on the history and tactics of student movements throughout Nagaland. Sociology faculty and students from the Kohima and Sechü campuses gathered to assess past achievements and current strategies.
Asenlo Khing served as the resource speaker for the session. Khing, a Junior Divisional Accountant for the state government and a researcher at Nagaland University, detailed how student bodies shaped regional policy. He explained that these groups prioritized the Naga Political Issue and enforced the Inner Line Permit. They also fought to curb undocumented immigration and protect local cultural identity.
Students demanded accountability. They pushed for timely scholarship payments and pushed for merit-based hiring practices. Khing noted these advocacy efforts led directly to the creation of the Nagaland Staff Selection Board. "Student movements in Nagaland: Analysis on their issues, strategies and achievements" served as the core theme of the day.
Dr. Khobu Tsolo chaired the proceedings. Assistant Professor Veshetsülü Rüho handled the welcome remarks. Vincent Kent, who heads the Sociology Department, ended the day by offering a vote of thanks.
