Kohima: In the runup to the Independence Day celebration, the Assam Rifles in collaboration with Brillante Management organised the “Kohima’s Got Talent” contest to recognise, promote and nurture young talents in Nagaland.
A release from PRO, HQ IGAR (North) informed that Brillante Management, in line with its mission to promote social development and positive impact, collaborated with the common goal to foster goodwill, uplift the morale of talented youth, and provide them with a great platform.
Dance and song competitions were held for the contestants at the State Academy Hall in Kohima. The winners were felicitated at a ceremony held later that day.
The competition was divided into three categories: singing, solo dance, and group dance. A total of 130 contestants participated in the competition.
Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
Support independent journalism. Be a Member.
Thank you,
