Kohima College was established on 9th
of August, 1967. It owes its origin to the four large hearted persons of Kohima Village,
who felt the need for a College in the Capital city of Nagaland, which would, if not
fully, at least partly fulfill the aspirations of our upcoming youths for higher
education. The need was all the more urgent, since there was no College offering studies
in the branch of humanities in Kohima town since 1879 and 1963 when it was declared district headquarters and state capital
respectively. Therefore, it was left to the local elite to care for, concern themselves,
and devise ways and means to provide higher education at a cheap cost and in their own
surroundings.
Dr.Neilhouzhu Kire, Dr.Satuo Sekhose,
Mr.Vibeilie Solo and Mr.Vilalhoulie Belho rose to the occasion and lit the torch of the Kohima
College, the first private College in Kohima in 1967.
The College was taken over by the
Government on 01.02.2006
The College offers Honours courses in
English, History,Economics,Education, Political Science and Tenyidie.
Total no of Students-1,741
