Tucked in the lush hills of Tamenglong, Manipur’s Naga heartland, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya shines as a beacon of opportunity for bright, underprivileged students.

Affiliated with CBSE and home to over 500 students, the school blends academics with multicultural values, patriotism, and multilingual learning.

Spread across 30 acres, the campus features smart classrooms, hostels, a library, and staff quarters.

With teachers from across India, the co-ed school fosters equality, diversity, and all-round development.

(Transcription) The facilities are very good. We get free books, free uniforms, and free food. We even stay on board for free. We study for free. Here teachers are very qualified. They are from different states. They provide us knowledge about speaking Hindi, English, and other languages." Beyond books, the school sparks hands-on learning in science labs and fuels creativity through art and crafts. Here, every child is inspired to dream big—whether in science or the arts.

(Transcription) I want to become an astronomer when I grow up. Because I am inspired to discover new things in the galaxy. There is very much blind space left in the universe, that is why I want to discover them. That’s the reason I want to become an astronomer. To achieve my goal, I would have to go to ISRO, one of the biggest organisations in India. Setting up a quality school in remote Tamenglong is a commendable educational step. With facilities on par with top schools in metropolitans, the administration is grateful to the government.
