Keneiseno Uneino Neihu from Nagaland was felicitated with certificate and cash prize by NEPAM. When asked to speak about her success, she said, “it’s all because of her hard work and dedication.” She dedicated her academic excellence to her mother who always support her decisions and also to NEPAM which was a platform for her to be bold and courageous enough to challenge anything that comes her way.
According to the Deccan Herald, Keneiseno Neihu has won Late Dr Gururaja Bhat Gold Medal, Late Dr Paduru Gururala Bhat Memorial Gold Medal, Prof B Sheik Ali Felicitation Committee cash prize, Dr P Gururaja Bhat Memorial Cash prize and Aubrey D’Souza Charitable Foundation prize.
“I was interested in history since my school days though my parents wanted me to pursue studies in medicine. But my mother did not force me and supported me in my venture throughout. As I chose the subject of my choice, I wanted to achieve something and the result is two gold medals, and three cash prizes,” she said.
She said she had not even heard of Mangaluru till she landed here to pursue her graduation at St Aloysius College. She said that there is no racial discrimination here and the people of the city are friendly. Right now, Neihu is pursuing her PhD programme at Dibrugarh University in Assam.
