Capital of the state of Nagaland, Kohima is located in the North Eastern corner of India bordering Myanmar (Burma) in the eastern parts of the Himalayas.

The Kohima Educational Trust is a foundation formed by the surviving veterans of the British 2nd Division. The Trust aims to honour the Nagas' forebears who fought alongside British troops in India during the Second World War and to provide a lasting memorial to the courage and sacrifice of all those who fought at Kohima.

The Trust's activities include scholarships for needy Naga schoolchildren, the provision of books for the local schools, seminars for teachers, school visits to the UK and the twinning of British and Naga schools.
