Kohima: The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) celebrated its 80th Foundation Day in Kohima on October 29. Leaders gathered at the SIRD Auditorium to renew vows for regional unity and collective identity. They focused on overcoming tribal lines and political borders. Marikho O Lerüna, the NSF Federal Assembly Speaker, administered a formal pledge. "We pledge to rise above tribal differences, geographical divisions and artificial political boundaries, united by our shared history, ancestral heritage and common aspirations," the statement read.
Lok Sabha MP S Supongmeren Jamir hoisted the organization's flag. He served as the NSF general secretary in 1989. Jamir urged the group to look toward its upcoming centenary. He emphasized that the federation operates above the state's political parties. Neingulo Krome of the Naga Peoples' Movement for Human Rights also spoke. He highlighted the group's right to self-determination and a unique identity.
NSF President Mteisuiding Heraang confirmed the organization will address broader societal issues alongside student concerns. Vimeyiekho Vitso chaired the event. The group also launched a new project called Powered 60. General Secretary Kenilo Kent managed the announcement. This program offers full UPSC exam coaching to 60 candidates. The federation will pick one student from every Assembly constituency in Nagaland. The Nagaland government backs the project. Merit will dictate the selection process. Classes start next academic session.
