DIMAPUR — The Sunbird Trust completed a scholarship distribution drive, providing INR 1,200 each to 1,000 children across 26 government schools, primarily in eastern Nagaland, between November 12 and 15.

The initiative was supported by a major corporate donor, while the Investment and Development Authority of Nagaland (IDAN), along with the Eleutheros Christian Society (ECS), played a key role in its implementation by identifying the government schools, stated an update.
