This program offers students an immersive journey into the cultural and agrarian heart of Nagaland. Through guided village walks, traditional handicraft workshops, and firsthand experiences of paddy and jhum cultivation, students develop a nuanced understanding of indigenous knowledge systems and sustainable practices. The hike to the Victory Tower and a visit to the historic Kohima War Cemetery offer glimpses into the region’s resilience, identity, and global significance. The program encourages curiosity, respect for traditional wisdom, and a deeper appreciation for community-led living.

Conservation Concerns

Nagaland’s delicate ecological balance is threatened by deforestation, unplanned development, and the changing dynamics of traditional farming. The decline of jhum cultivation practices without adequate alternatives has led to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity in some areas. Additionally, the increased demand for timber and forest produce puts pressure on natural habitats. Conservation efforts focus on blending traditional knowledge with modern sustainability initiatives to ensure that cultural heritage and biodiversity can thrive together.
