DIMAPUR — Medhavi Skills University (MSU) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nagaland Police to provide access to higher education for families of police personnel in Dimapur on March 30.
According to an update, the collaboration aims to unlock access to quality, industry-aligned higher education for the wards and spouses of police personnel serving, retired, disabled, and those who have laid down their lives in the line of duty.
The MoU was formalised in the presence of Rupin Sharma, director general of police (DGP), Nagaland; Videlailie Zashumo, inspector general of police (administration); Sandeep M Tamgadge, additional director general of police (L&O); and Kuldip Sarma, co-founder and pro-chancellor, MSU.
Speaking on the occasion, the DGP Nagaland said, “This collaboration is a meaningful step towards securing the future of our personnel’s families. By enabling access to quality higher education, we are investing in their aspirations and long-term empowerment in a pursuit to unlock opportunities that matter.”
The pro-chancellor of MSU said, “At MSU, we believe education must reach those who have contributed selflessly to society. This partnership with Nagaland Police is a commitment to creating opportunities, building capabilities, and supporting families in shaping a more empowered future. More than a partnership, it stands as a powerful tribute to service, ensuring that the aspirations of these families are not just supported, but meaningfully empowered for a better tomorrow.”
