“The Early Guardian of Nagaland: A Journey Through the First Governorship”

Nagaland, the 16th state of India, gained statehood on December 1, 1963, and with it came the appointment of its first Governor, Vishnu Sahay. He played a crucial role in establishing administrative structures and fostering peace in a region known for its diverse tribes and complex socio-political dynamics. Sahay emphasized dialogue and cooperation between the state government and local communities, helping to lay the foundation for governance in the newly formed state. His tenure marked the beginning of Nagaland’s journey as a full-fledged state within India, balancing tradition with modern administration while promoting unity and development.
