Dimapur, 1 November (MTNews): In a first of its kind in Dimapur Govt. College (DGC), the Dimapur Govt.

Manpai Phom, Administrator of DMC (Dimapur Municipal Council), on November 1, 2023.
Rendemo C. Tsanglao, the General Secretary of DGCSC, described the ‘InnoBuild Project’ as a fusion of ‘Innovation’ and ‘Building,’ emphasizing student-led innovation in infrastructure development and their role as catalysts for change. He stressed that this project is a collective endeavor of the student body, with a dual aim of enhancing both academic and infrastructural aspects of DGC. Furthermore, it seeks to transform perceptions of government colleges and empower students to be agents of change, not only within the college but also in society at large.

Following the project’s inauguration, Special Guest W. Manpai Phom, the Administrator of DMC, commended the Students’ Council for their groundbreaking initiative. He expressed confidence that the newly established drinking water facility would effectively cater to the needs of the students, particularly in the humid climate of Dimapur. He added that this will help save plastic pollution as in the absence of such a water refilling hub, people tend to carry disposable plastic water bottles which in return pollutes the surroundings. He further commented that the Drinking Water Facility constructed by DGCSC under InnoBuild Project will act as a stepping stone towards Plastic Free Dimapur. Taking the platform, the DMC Administrator announced that DMC is working to make Dimapur a Plastic Free City in 90 days.
The event was chaired by Dr Vinyuhu Lhoungu, Coordinator, IQAC, DGC and invocation was done by Sedevino Jakhalu, Assoc. Prof & HoD, Political Science Department. The National Cadet Corps of DGC sung the college anthem and the closing remark was done by Dr Vinyuhu Lhoungu, Coordinator, IQAC, DGC.
