Tetso College, Dimapur in collaboration with M.L Dahanukar College, Mumbai held a Student Exchange Programme from 12th September to 20th September and 10th October to 18th October 2022. The Mumbai group visited Nagaland on the first half of the program and the Nagaland group visited Mumbai on the second half respectively.
While in Nagaland the group from Mumbai were taken to visit several sites including Nagaland Bamboo Development center, NEZCC and Hollotoli School to understand grassroot level education in Nagaland. They were also taken on a trip to visit the Raj Bhavan Kohima, Heritage Village and Khonoma Village.
On the other hand the group from Tetso College while in Mumbai were taken to explore the difference in cultures, visiting the Gateway of India, Mount Mary church, Juhu Beach. Also, visiting Atlas University and attending a 3D workshop organized by PTVA’s institute of management to understand the differences in educational techniques. Both groups ended with a cultural evening on their ends to show and portray their different cultural practices and heritage, while also sharing with each other the beauty of their differences.
Especially being from different ends of the same country without having proper knowledge of each other, the main objective behind initiating such a program was to gain exposure for the Students as well as the two different States. And since the best method to learn is through experience, the interactions between the two Colleges from different states has proven to be very helpful for both parties in understanding the different values, cultures and perspectives that is observed in their respective societies.
Tetso College aims to reach out and conduct more programs of similar nature in the near future all over India in hopes to bring oneness and awareness among the future generations of our country.
