In what turned out to be the department’s last outing and major activity before the pandemic closed down the institution from the 17th March 2020, on January the 28th 2020, final semester students of the English Dept. alongwith seven faculty members, visited the college's two adopted schools at Hmuifang, a picturesque tourist spot some 53 kms away from Aizawl.
Splitting up into two
groups, we presented an assortment of gifts and a Little Library to both the Govt. Primary
School and Neihlaia Memorial Middle School. The Little Libraries were stocked
with books in English and Mizo donated by students and teachers to encourage a
love of books and reading among the schoolchildren.
At the Middle School, the students also spent time
interacting in spoken English with the children. This was the first direct
interaction made with both schools by the college since the school and village adoptions were
finalised in November 2019.
