Kohima: The Naga Students’ Federation held a prelude event at Molungyimsen village on June 26. This gathering marked the upcoming 150th anniversary of formal education in Naga Hills, which officially arrives in 2028. The site honors the work of American missionary Mary Mead Clark.
Leaders started a project to distribute litchi tree saplings to every Naga village. They harvested fruit from a 148-year-old tree planted by Reverend Dr. Clark to supply the seeds. This initiative aims to wrap up before the anniversary celebration begins.
The federation also debuted the Powered 60 project to help poor students. It covers UPSC coaching and mentorship for one person from every assembly constituency in Nagaland. NSF President Mteisuding explained the reach of this new scheme. "Under this project, one aspirant from economically underprivileged background from each of the assembly constituencies in Nagaland will be selected for a one-year UPSC Coaching and Mentorship Programme," Mteisuding said.
Unity is their main goal. Speakers asked the community to set aside old divisions and work together. The group visited Molungkimong village after the main event. They paid respects at historic sites tied to the first Naga Christians and held prayers with local leaders.
