Dictionaries for Naga Schools

Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionaries ready for distribution

One of the major projects for the Kohima Educational Trust in 2008 has been the provision of a good English language learning dictionary to every secondary school in Nagaland.

The dictionary project got underway during the summer after KET purchased and delivered to Kohima 450 Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionaries.

The first presentation of dictionaries was made in May 2008 at a conference of Head Teachers, held in Kohima.
