As it is, they’re already bad enough and detrimental to our economy’s progress, what is even worse is that non-Nagas are involved in these activities.

Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to bring to the notice of the government and the people regarding the school education during the pandemic. With personal experience and from my own perspective, I believe that serious education cannot be done using  method. Students figure out a lot of their medium struggle.

Buno Iralu Sechü Zubza The promise and the likelihood of Nagas being granted political Independence from India has occupied prominence in the media and many serious conversations since as long as the mind can recall. It is ironical, if not more awkward, that India, the largest democracy in the world has had the audacity to keep the Nagas and their rightful privilege on tenterhooks for seventy-four years – the longest known struggle for independence by any nation.
