She said that this is a time for retrospection of the status of Tangkhul women, from the pre-christianity period till the present time and their aspirations for the future.
Alice Christian Higher Secondary School, established in 1980 by Alice Pettigrew, is an important project of the women union, continued Wungreiwon, and the school was upgraded to the higher secondary level with Science stream in 2000 and Arts in 2002, she added. This pre-centenary celebration is a preparation for the centenenary celebration after 5 years in which women from other religious communities of the state will also be invited, she informed, and expressed hope that the centenary celebration will bring peace, harmony, and unity among the different ethnic communities living in the state who are all children of God. She said Tangkhul women should re-examine and discuss their present status in the society, their achievements and aspirations for the future, acknowledging that women have come a far way after Christianity and western education have touched their lives.
