Imphal, August 08 2022:
Director General Assam Rifles (DGAR) Lt Gen PC Nair inaugurated Capt (Late) N Kenguruse, MVC Centre of Excellence & Wellness at Chieswema, Kohima on Monday.
The Project has been conceived by Assam Rifles to empower the youth of Nagaland through education and secure a better future for them, informed PRO IGAR (S) in a release.
During his address, DG Assam Rifles appreciated the efforts of IGAR (North), NIE-DO and Axis Bank in coming together for this humanitarian cause which will not only fulfill the drive of immensely talented youth of Nagaland but will also usher in prosperity and happiness in the society and the state.
He further stated that Nagaland as a state has had certain impediments in terms of higher education due to its remoteness and societal challenges evolving out of insurgency.
These impediments have prevented students from realising their aspirations and true potential.
This project would be able to bridge this gap and provide students an opportunity to achieve their dreams and contribute positively to the society, state and nation, the DG said.
He also highlighted that the facility will provide value-based education, including soft skill training, critical life competencies, leadership capabilities, personal conditioning, wellness programs, vocational training, personality development and end-to-end grooming to the selected students to help them in becoming a productive human resource for the nation.
Having been an IGAR in Nagaland earlier, Lt Gen Nair had felt the necessity and significance of reaching out to the very remote areas of Nagaland.
This project was thus conceptualised to nurture the talent of the vast numbers of under privileged youth that reside in these areas and give wings to their aspirations, the PRO said.
Inspector General Assam Rifles (North) Maj Gen Vikas Lakhera while addressing the students about the pioneer and generous drive highlighted that the project will provide a genuine opportunity for quality education to these selected children through specialised mentors.
According to the general officer, the initiative will also set precedence for more such collaborations in future and would have a meaningful impact on the education rendered to the relatively weaker sections of the society and in turn their lives.
He thanked Axis Bank and NIEDO for joining hands on such a noble initiative.
The project has been conceptualised as a year-long residential coaching and mentoring facility for students from economically weaker and under-privileged sections of Nagaland for prestigious competitive examinations like NEET and JEE.
The MoU between Assam Rifles, Axis Bank and NIEDO was signed earlier on May 13 which commenced the arduous journey of selecting 30 meritorious students from the entire state of Nagaland.
The students underwent various stages of testing to be Anally selected amongst the top 30 .
