Date : 28-March-2017 Principal/Head of the Institution Place : Kohima (Name and Signature with office seal) SELF STUDY REPORT - 2017 CYCLE-2 ii KOHIMA COLLEGE, KOHIMA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE SWOC ANALYSIS OF KOHIMA COLLEGE Kohima College, located in the scenic hillock of Kruoliezou, Kohima, was established on the 9th August 1967. This educational institute holds the distinction of being the first private college offering higher education in the branch of Humanities for the first time in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland. The College owes its existence to the founding members; four far sighted individuals from Kohima Village, who shared a common concern which was the need for an Academic Institution in Kohima. This pressing need was especially felt for youths from economically weaker sections of the society, who did not possess the means to travel outside the state for further studies. This requirement was all the more urgent since there was no institution offering Higher Studies program/s in the field of Humanities in Kohima at that point of time. In light of this predicament, Dr. Neilhouzhü Kire, Dr. Satuo Sekhose, Mr. Vibeilie Solo and Mr. Vilalhoulie Belho together rose to the challenge and created history by establishing the College. Kohima College during the initial years offered only evening classes and these classes were held at the old Middle English School building and Union Baptist Church, Kohima. In 1969 however, the College was asked to vacate the aforementioned school building whereupon classes were shifted to an old dilapidated Primary School building located at the Mission Compound. Towards the close of 1971, the college was once again allowed to conduct classes at the Middle English School and the site, along with the school building was allotted to the College. It was through the initiative of Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu that the Education Department was persuaded to part with its quarters located at the present site Ura College of Teachers’ Education. These quarters, along with Dr. Setou Liegise’s building and a house belonging to Mr. Aguo Zeliang, were officially handed over to the College. With the possession of these buildings, the College was finally able to solve the problem of space. However, due to lack of funds, the college was often unable to pay salaries to the teachers. The founding members were nevertheless, unrelenting in their efforts to ensure the proper functioning of the college. With the course of time, the problem of accommodation arose with the rise in student enrolment. Besides the need for expansion, the existing infrastructure was also highly dilapidated and had to be renovated to make room for the ever SELF STUDY REPORT - 2017 CYCLE-2 1 increasing student population. Mr. H Gupta assumed charge of the College in 1979 and Mr. H. Saiborne was made the Vice Principal. Both of them developed a deep concern for the college’s lack of permanent infrastructure. Finally, they approached the University Grant Commission (UGC) and received a substantial amount for building grants. With this fund and some material assistance from the State Government, a modest building complex was constructed. The Government of Nagaland took over Kohima College with effect from 1st February 2006. With the subsequent completion of the construction of a new building complex in 2009, the College was shifted to its present site during the 2009-2010 session. An Inauguration Ceremony to commemorate the new complex for Kohima College was held on 12th May 2009. The Inaugural address was pronounced by the Chief Guest for the momentous occasion, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, the then Minister of the Department of Higher & Technical Education, Government of Nagaland. Lt. Dr. Satuo Sekhose, the only living founding member then was present to share the collective vision which gave birth to the college. It may be mentioned Mr. C Khalong became the first Principal to head the college since government take over. The college began its journey in 1967 with 127 students on its roll. The subjects offered then were English, Alternative English, Economics, History, Philosophy and Political Science. Later on, Philosophy was dropped for lack of students and Education and Sociology were added instead. In 1972, M.A. in Political Science was granted affiliation by Gauhati University. When the College came under North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), this Post Graduate program had to be done away with as NEHU did not permit colleges to run Post graduate courses. Kohima College achieved another milestone when in 1988, Tenyidie was introduced as a subject of study at the Pre University level. Gradually, Tenyidie was upgraded to the Degree level. On 10th June 2013, the Government of Nagaland made the bold decision to physically de-link 10+2 academic level from the College. Kohima College, a Co-educational institution affiliated to Nagaland University now offers three year Graduate Degree course in a multitude of Humanities program, including both General and Honours courses. The Commerce steam was successfully introduced in 2016. Aside from academics, the achievements of the students in the field of games and sports have also been praiseworthy and by no means, negligible. The students have brought laurels to the College by winning several trophies at various inter college tournaments under Nagaland University and erstwhile North Eastern Hill University (NEHU). It may be mentioned that Kohima College has 2 KOHIMA COLLEGE, KOHIMA remained champion for three successive years in the State Parliamentary Quiz competition. The performance of the students in the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and National Service Scheme (NSS) activities have done the College proud. The college has on its roll, sportspersons who are state sponsored residents of Indira Gandhi Stadium Sports Academy, Kohima. These National level sportspersons have brought laurels to the state in the field of Boxing, Football, Archery and Taekwando. Kohima College is fortunate to have had some dedicated personalities to tend to its growth.
