Mumbai, October 10, 2026 (Shiksha Ka Yug): The Naga Students' Union Mumbai (NSUM) celebrated its 55th Nagas Meet cum Freshers' Day on Saturday . This year's theme was "Continuum." It celebrated how young Nagas stay connected to their roots, traditions and identity while living far from home.
A Soulful Opening in Traditional Attire
The event opened with a group song. Students in traditional Naga shawls and attire sang together to an acoustic guitar. A podium draped in a traditional Naga textile with tribal motifs set a cultural tone, and the performance drew warm applause.
Mumbai Meets Nagaland
The stage backdrop blended Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace and Gateway of India with Naga wood carvings and green hills. At its centre, a young traveller carrying a traditional Naga bag walked forward. The image stood for every student who has come to Mumbai to study while carrying their heritage along.
