It is my proud privilege to be an alumnus of SASARD, NU and it is with immense pride and heartfelt joy that I join in celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Alumni Association of School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University. My journey as an undergraduate began in SASARD in the year 1992 and continued till 1998 where I earned a gold medal for post-graduation in Animal Production and Management. My sincere gratitude to my inspiring mentors for instilling a strong academic foundation and a vibrant learning environment that has shaped my path in education, research and leadership.
From my early days as a lecturer at Nagaland University to my current role at MAHE, Manipal, the values instilled during my time at the School have remained a guiding force. I am deeply grateful to be a part of this legacy and to witness the remarkable growth and impact the School, my association with my batchmates, seniors, junior and faculty has had over the years.
