The Khiamniungan Students’ Union (KSU) successfully concluded its 63rd General Session under the theme “Transcending Challenges: Building a Shared Future” at Sanglao Village in Noklak District. The three-day event was held from January 7 to 9, 2026.
Sanglao Village hosted the KSU General Session for the second time, the first being in 2001, marking a significant milestone in the history of the Union. The successful hosting of the session once again reflected the village’s commitment, unity, and organizational capability.
The KSU General Session is convened once every three years, during which a host village is selected based on mutual convenience and preparedness to organize the grand event. The session serves as an important platform for review, reflection, and planning, strengthening the collective vision of the Union.
The Khiamniungan Students’ Union, the highest apex students’ body of the Khiamniungan community, currently has 42 units with 13,120 students approximately functioning under its banner. Each unit bears its own roles and responsibilities, working actively to mobilize students, promote unity, and address educational, social, and developmental issues within their respective jurisdictions.
The 63rd General Session featured speakers – P Longon, MLA and Chairman, DPDB, GoN, as Special guest, Benei M Lamthiu, MLA as Cultural guest, and Shaying Sheu, ADC, Tobu, Nagaland, as the inaugural guest, L Ngon, President, Khiamniungan Tribal Council as Guest of Honour, and Er Leyang Khiamniungan, Chief Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department ( GoN).
During the event, the KSU felicitated achievers from different fields, and also witnessed various performances and presentations by the units. The final night witnessed a grant ethnic show and a bonfire.
The Khiamniungan Students’ Union plays a vital role committing to the intellectual, social, and cultural development of Khiamniungan students. More than a student body, the Union serves as a guiding force that nurtures leadership with its motto “Learn and Lead”. The Union addresses academic, social, and welfare-related concerns by engaging with educational institutions, authorities, and policymakers. Education remains at the core of the Union’s mission. The Khiamniungan Students’ Union actively promotes academic excellence, discipline, and ethical values among students.
In an era of rapid change, the Union plays a crucial role in safeguarding traditional values, language, and customs.
Beyond academics and culture, the Khiamniungan Students’ Union remains socially responsible. Noklak sharing an international border, the union also focuses on covering the issues of displaced Mayanmars in Noklak guiding them to get educational access.

KSU initiative through the years:
The recent years have witnessed the Khiamniungan Students’ Union standing firm at critical moments of social, political, and developmental concern affecting the community. The mass public rally held on April 3, 2025 at ITC Dan against the scrapping of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) and the proposed fencing of the Indo-Myanmar border was a defining expression of collective voice. Organized in collaboration with the Khiamniungan Tribal Council and the Naga People’s Front, the movement reaffirmed the people’s resolve to protect historical ties, traditional mobility, and shared identity across borders.
Beyond protests, sustained engagement through memoranda and representations reflected the Union’s commitment to constructive dialogue and long-term development.
Equally significant were the Khiamniungan–Lainong Brotherhood Meets held in India and Myanmar, which reaffirmed shared ancestry, cultural bonds, and mutual responsibility. These gatherings served as reminders that progress is not only measured by policy outcomes, but by unity, remembrance of roots, and the collective will to stand for one another.
