The delegation then visited Bailey Baptist College, where Principal, Benthungo Ngullie and staff received the members. Ngullie presented a review of the college’s functioning and highlighted pressing challenges. Established in 1996 as a 75‑year mission college by Wokha Town Baptist Church, the institution is currently facing difficulties due to low student enrollment, poor road accessibility, and lack of sports infrastructure.

MLA, Mhonbemo Humtsoe shared his concern over the problems faced by the college and pledged to sponsor six students this year. Advisor Mhathung Yanthan also emphasized the importance of having such a college in Wokha, announcing his support to establish a library and a table tennis facility, while assuring continued assistance in the future.
