TURA, Feb 26: The North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Tura Campus, recently celebrated its Silver Jubilee at its campus in Chasingre.
Established in 1996, the University completes 25 years this year.
The Silver Jubilee celebration was attended West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh, former and incumbent NEHU officials, principals from various colleges in Garo Hills, members of the Tura Senior Citizens Forum, Nokma Council, Garo Graduates’ Union, A’chik Literature Society and others.
Former pro-vice-chancellors, who spoke on the occasion, remembered the challenges they were subjected to during the University’s nascent stage, when it started with only two departments – English and Garo.
Now, the University boasts 11 departments and there are so many developments and plans in the pipeline to help NEHU become a world-class university, they stated.
