Separately, the FPAI Nagaland branch conducted Adolescent Education Programme (AEP) sessions at Vinyüzo Higher Secondary School, Dainty Buds, Mewi Higher Secondary School, and Modern Higher Secondary School during the month.

It aims to empower adolescents to make informed decisions, develop respectful relationships, and build confidence to navigate challenges during adolescence.
The sessions were conducted by the staff of FPAI, with youth volunteers supporting and assisting during the programmes.
This initiative is part of FPAI’s outreach efforts aimed at empowering young people with essential knowledge and skills for their overall development and well-being.
