New Initiatives: 1. Flanks to Forefront: Centering North East

Flanks to Forefront: Centering North East

To give a boost to the academic growth and career opportunities of English graduates and postgraduates from the Seven North Eastern States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura, a Whatsapp group has been envisaged and the functioning of the group is already underway. Touted as “A WhatsApp group exclusively dedicated to serve the interests of English Graduates, Postgraduates and teachers from the North Eastern States", this group is looking for new members to decorate its crown.

Despite being some of the finest culturally developed states in India, the students from the North East areas struggle to get international exposure, scholarships and better career opportunities. All English graduates, postgraduates and teachers from the North Eastern States are welcome to this group. This service can be availed by non-members of AIFEST as well.

Who can Join
All English graduates, postgraduates and teachers from the North Eastern States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. Can be availed by non-members of AIFEST as well.
