- DIMAPUR — A farewell programme in honour of
Kumar Ramnikant, outgoing Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kohima, was held at the

- According to a DIPR report, in his farewell address,
Ramnikant expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as DC in various

events of 2024, including the Lok Sabha elections, urban local body (ULB)
elections, Hornbill Festival, and the 16th Finance Commission visit. He
described his time as engaging, filled with challenges and learning.

about two types of approaches: one active, where work is done behind the scenes

officers to adopt the active approach, emphasising its value in bringing peace
of mind and fulfilment.
