Rev. Fr. Valerian Castelino SJ - Chairman
When the Jesuits started working in education in Nagaland, one of the main needs was to train some of the students from the North East to become teachers in schools. All the schools were asking for trained teachers and it was very much felt by the Jesuits in 1980s. Most of the time we had to hunt for teachers from other states of India to come and teach. Our focus was on quality and for the locals to be trained for the primary education. Read More

Noticing the rather poor performance of our students at high school level in our schools in the North East in general but Nagaland in particular, we, the Jesuits, in the late 70s, came to the following conclusion. It was that unless a strong foundation is laid at the primary school level we cannot expect miracles to happen at higher class levels. This was the reason why in 1977 we began an Institute of Education, first at Jakhama for a year. Read More
