As part of the nationwide Har Ghar Tiranga campaign from August 11 to 15, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nagaland state unit led by its president Benjamin Yepthomi, along with state sfficials, visited the School for the Deaf at Naharbari, Dimapur.
A press release from the party stated that the visiting team engaged with the students, staff, and students extending support as part of the campaign’s outreach initiatives.
Established in 1987, the School for the Deaf in Naharbari is the first and only institution of its kind in Nagaland, dedicated to the education, vocational training, and rehabilitation of the hearing impaired. Founded by Rev. Yanger Walling—three-time National Awardee (1999, 2004 and 2009)—the institution has been a beacon of service and empowerment for nearly four decades.
Rev. Walling expressed his gratitude to the state BJP president and his team for conducting a special Independence Day programme under Har Ghar Tiranga at the institution.
In his address, Yepthomi said, “Though we come from a political party, we come here as family. It is a joy and a blessing to be among these wonderful children. We are reminded that God’s love knows no boundaries, and that we are all precious in His eyes. Faith is not only heard with ears but felt in the heart.” He further encouraged the community to build a society where every child is valued and loved.

In addition to the visit to the School for the Deaf at Naharbari, BJP Nagaland organized Free Medical Camps in all 11 District Jails across the state, aimed at ensuring healthcare access for inmates.
