The All Nagaland Private Schools’ Association (ANPSA), Dimapur Unit, concluded its Badminton Tournament 2026 on Saturday at Vidya Bhawan Higher Secondary School, Dimapur, marking 25 years of ANPSA Dimapur Unit’s sports activities.
Gracing the occasion as chief guest, former principal secretary, Government of Nagaland and chairman of Lima Aier Higher Secondary School Dr. Maongwati Aier highlighted the growing popularity and accessibility of badminton in India. He encouraged young players to strive for excellence and bring laurels to both the state and the nation.
