College, Longleng, celebrated "A prelude to Monyiü" on the theme
"Revive, relearn, progress: a cultural journey," with the
Superintendent of Police (SP) of Longleng, Yanger Jamir, as the special guest
on March 28.
- According to a DIPR report, Jamir, in his address, said that
Nagas, and particularly the Phom community, should be proud of their identity,
as everyone is unique in their own way and should not surrender without trying.
- He urged the students to carefully choose their careers,
considering the fact that not everyone can become a gazetted officer. Instead,
he encouraged them to identify their talents and interests and set meaningful
goals accordingly.

Imti, principal of Yingli College, while Dr. B Henshet Phom, vice principal,
deliberated on the history of Monyiü.

Phomla Hoichem, and N Nanpei Phom, head GB of Bhumnyu village, who narrated the
history of the Bhumnyu villagers' land contribution for the establishment of
Yingli College.
- Later, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with
the Superintendent of Police's office for a five-year internship to work
towards capacity building, community engagement, and public safety. The MoU
will enable both institutions to collaborate on matters of local, state, and
national importance, prioritising students' education.
- The second session featured a talk on the topic
"Writing culture: a way forward" by Phom writer Chingong Phom. The
programme concluded with a talent extravaganza.
