Community Development Forum of the North East Institute of Social Sciences and Research (NEISSR) organized a Legal Awareness Programme on the theme “Legal Awareness for Social Justice and Community Empowerment” at BAM Hall, Chümoukedima.
Guest speaker Advocate L. Pukho Khiamniungan from the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, addressed the gathering and engaged students in a discussion on the importance of legal literacy. His presentation focused on three key areas—women’s rights, children’s rights, and consumer rights.
Highlighting that nearly 70% of legal rights are framed for women, Advocate Khiamniungan emphasized the need to uplift victims of domestic violence—be it physical, emotional, or mental—and encouraged students to become advocates for justice. The programme was moderated by MSW trainee Kelhoulenou Kire, with invocation by Sister Jusila, welcome address by Esther M. Konyak, and vote of thanks delivered by Kili Awomi.
