“A nation is advanced in proportion to education and intelligence spread among the masses.”
Swami Vivekananda had long ago mentioned of the very importance of education and the impact it has on the growth of a nation in the most simplest of terms.

Education is not just a practice of going to school; it is a commitment to transform into a proper human being from just any ordinary person. It is not just about good grades, but also about good morals. It is not just about learning tables, but also about having profound knowledge of manners and etiquettes.

 A world that thrives on pace and selfish motives, education is what keeps the soul alive. Education not only teaches us words like “thank you” and “sorry”, but also widens our vision and understanding on gratefulness and guilt. It is not just a medium to know where the Moon is, but also about knowing, analyzing and planning on how to reach it. To say the least, education is not just a profession-building tool, it is a life-building mechanism.

Meghalaya Indigenous People Front demand KHADC to register land in Meghalaya

The Meghalaya Indigenous People Front (MIPF) earlier today met Titus Chyne Executive Memebrs (EM) in his office chamber of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) to demand from the District Council to implement the 'Land Holding Certificate' of the people in Meghalaya.

Speaking after the meeting Vice President of MIPF Kitboklang Lyngdoh said that the organization form time to time have received complaints from the people regarding the difficulties they faced in getting loans from the banks as banks do not accept the ‘Land Holding Certificates’

“With the registrations of lands by the people of Meghalaya, it will help the government to prepare a proper map of Meghalaya especially in the border areas, hence we urged the Distrcit Council to helps the people in registering their lands in the near future” Kitboklang Lyngdoh

The MIPF had placed their demands to Titus Chyne which include 1) to implement the land holding Certificate 2) to issue notice to banks to accept the land holding Certificate of the KHADC and 3) to see that lands are registered in KHADC as to prevent from illegal encroachment etc.

In this regard the EM had assured that he will take up the matter with the Land Committee of the council.

Though the impact of climate change and global warming has been acutely felt in Manipur, there have been but little action to curb the crisis.

The state has become hotter by 1^oC with the result that the monsoons are erratic. It may be recalled that there was a flood in 2018. And in 2019 monsoon failed plunging the state into a drought.

The effect of the successive flood and drought is the creation of a famine-like situation. Rice sells at Rs. 50/kilogram and the scarcity of rice has led to a steep rise in the price of vegetables.

We are happy to know that R.N. Ravi, Interlocutor for the Naga Peace Process and now Governor of Nagaland, have been promoted twice while serving as the Interlocutor. The NSCN-IM should also be grateful that the Framework Agreement was signed during this period.

How the Current Indo-Naga Talks Began:  Though the NSCN faced a huge setback in the 80s, twelve years after its formation, through the initiative of the organization, Nagalim was admitted in the UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation) on 23 January, 1993. This was widely published in the international media. And Nagalim was featured in the Times Magazine the same  year. (Some of the former members of the UNPO such as Armenia, East Timor, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Palau, have gained full independence and joined the United Nations.)
