Kohima: Badze Leshüki, an alternative learning centre situated in Kimho, Kohima Village, officially opened on June 4, 2026. Dr. Kekhrie Yhome, advisor for School Education, inaugurated the facility, which operates under the Centre for Indigenous Knowledge and Alternative Learning initiative of the Dr. K and T Keditsu Foundation.
The school aims to merge traditional Naga knowledge with contemporary educational theories.
