Chandel: The Japhou Youth Club in Manipur’s Chandel district has congratulated brothers Prof Shongsir Warson Monsang and Shongsir Nicodim Monsang for receiving national-level honours for their contributions to veterinary medicine and education.

In a statement, the Japhou Youth Club extended its profound honour and immense pride in celebrating the historic achievement of two distinguished sibling professionals and senior members of the Club, Prof. Shongsir Warson Monsang and Shongsir Nicodim Monsang, who have brought great recognition and honour to their family, community and the state of Manipur through their remarkable achievements

According to the youth club, the recognition of these two accomplished professionals at such a distinguished platform is a momentous occasion for the people of Monsang Community, Manipur and the entire North-East region.

“Their achievements reflect years of dedication, professional excellence, perseverance and an unwavering commitment to serving society through their respective fields,” it stated.

Prof. Shongsir Warson Monsang received the National Talent Award 2026 in recognition of his significant contribution to the field of Veterinary Medicine, particularly in the areas of surgery and animal health care. His professional contribution in veterinary medicine represents a valuable service not only to animal welfare and health but also to the wider community whose livelihoods and well-being are closely connected with livestock and animal husbandry.

Through his expertise, dedication and commitment to veterinary healthcare, the Japhou Youth Club noted that Prof. Shongsir Warson Monsang has demonstrated the importance of specialised knowledge and professional service in addressing societal needs.

“His recognition with the National Talent Award is a fitting acknowledgement of his contribution and professional excellence,” it stated.

On the other hand, Shongsir Nicodim Monsang was honoured with the prestigious Tagore International Award 2026 for his outstanding contribution to primary education in the district of Chandel, distinguishing him as the Best Teacher from the state of Manipur.

“Education, particularly at the primary level, forms the foundation upon which the future of every child and society is built. The dedication of teachers who work to nurture young minds, strengthen foundational learning and create a conducive educational environment plays an immeasurable role in shaping future generations. It also reflects a commitment not merely to teaching, but to building character, encouraging learning, and preparing children to become responsible and capable members of society,” it stated.

Japhou Youth Club believed that the achievements of these two siblings transcend individual recognition. Their success represents a historic moment of pride for their family, community, Chandel District and the state of Manipur.

Their respective achievements in the Veterinary Medicine and Education sectors demonstrate the diverse talent and professional potential that exists within the region. From advancing animal healthcare to strengthening primary education, their contributions illustrate how dedicated professionals can make a tangible difference in the lives of people and communities.

The Club expressed hope that their recognition will encourage the youth of Chandel and Manipur to explore their talents, pursue professional excellence and develop a strong sense of responsibility towards their communities.

Born to Sh. Betin Monsang and the late Ng. Menchim Monsang of Japhou village in Chandel district, Prof. Shongsir Warson Monsang currently works as the Head of Department, Veterinary Surgery and Radiology at the Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry Institution, Agartala. While Shongsir Nicodim Monsang serves as Headmaster in-charge at Japhou Upper Primary School, Japhou village in Chandel district.

May their achievements become a lasting source of inspiration for the growing generation and encourage many more young talents from Chandel and Manipur to rise, excel and contribute meaningfully to society, it added.
