SAS Nagaland University celebrates 49th Foundation Day with alumni
The Story in Brief
The School of Agricultural Sciences (SAS), Nagaland University, Medziphema Campus, celebrated its 49th Foundation Day cum Alumni Meet on Friday, 23 October, sponsored by the 11th Alumni Batch. The event featured a Foundation Day Lecture by former Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof M Aleminla Ao on the theme ‘Agricultural Entrepreneurship: A Catalyst for the Farming Community’, who urged alumni to stay connected and highlighted opportunities in value addition, marketing and agriculture-based enterprises.
Alumni Awards were presented to six students for academic excellence. Aysha Parween received the Alumni Award for Academic Excellence with an OGPA of 8.59 and a cash prize of Rs 20,000. Five other students received excellence awards, each with Rs 10,000 and a certificate. The programme also included a reminiscence session led by the 11th Alumni Batch, with Rongsenlemzung Jamir, Additional Director, Soil and Water Conservation, Government of Nagaland, sharing memories and encouragement.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both nagalandtribune.in and morungexpress.com reported the event as a straightforward campus ceremony, leading with the date and the alumni sponsorship. Nagaland Tribune included additional detail: the exact breakdown of each award, the sponsoring batch members, and a quote from Prof Ao on rural youth migration and Dr Kalam's vision. Morung Express offered a shorter account focused on the lecture and award list. Neither outlet introduced any political slant or critical framing, the coverage is uniform straight reporting of a university function. Both sources note that the event was chaired by Dr J Akato Chishi and that the vote of thanks was delivered by Dean Prof Pauline Alila, confirming the formal closure of the programme.
The real next step is the expanded alumni engagement: B.Voc. students were included in the SAS Alumni Association, as announced by Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof L Tongpang Longkumer.
