The first phase of our 4-module Inclusive Education Training commenced today with the teachers of Rayburn High School, New Lamka.

The session introduced foundational concepts of inclusive education, along with an overview of different types of disabilities and their implications within the classroom setting. It was encouraging to see active participation, thoughtful engagement, and meaningful discussions among the teachers throughout the session.

This training is part of a structured 16-hour program designed to strengthen inclusive practices and support the development of more accessible and equitable learning environments.

“Open Door – Friends of TMI Day,” welcoming a vibrant gathering of friends, well-wishers, and supporters to our campus in Pearsonmun. The event, held in loving memory of Malsawm, created a meaningful space for connection, reflection, and shared belonging.

Rather than formal proceedings, the day focused on togetherness. Visitors engaged warmly with our community, sharing conversations, sitting side by side in fellowship, and taking part in quiet moments of prayer and tea. The atmosphere reflected the spirit of inclusive learning and community that defines our work.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us, storytellers, creators, and supporters alike. Your presence and encouragement continue to strengthen the journey of Team CCI and help carry our story forward.

We successfully hosted an engaging stakeholder session at MARC, Pearsonmun, bringing together key partners for a joint initiative to share the vision, focus, and key highlights of Project MindLink.

The meeting marked an important first step toward building meaningful collaborations to address pressing mental health challenges in Churachandpur. Participants actively contributed valuable insights, helping shape a more inclusive and responsive approach to mental health care and support.

Supported by @petronetlngltd, Project MindLink aims to strengthen mental health awareness, promote early identification, and improve access to timely intervention and support systems through strong and coordinated partnerships.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all invitees for their valuable participation and look forward to continued collaboration in building a stronger, more supportive mental health ecosystem.

CCI team came together for an impactful in-house training session focused on growth, alignment, and financial awareness.

The session began with our Director, Pu Pauzagin Tonsing, who reoriented the team with a clear and inspiring overview of CCI’s vision, mission, and core policies—strengthening our shared purpose and direction.

We then took an important step forward in financial literacy through an engaging Insurance Literacy workshop conducted by experts from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The session helped us better understand how to safeguard our future and make informed financial decisions.

Building knowledge today means building a stronger, more secure tomorrow.

The 2026–2027 academic session has officially begun at The Malsawm Initiative (TMI), bringing renewed energy, excitement, and enthusiasm among students and staff.

Students returned refreshed and ready to begin a new year of learning, growth, and new opportunities within an inclusive and supportive environment.

The occasion was made even more meaningful with the presence of Pu Rev. L. Khaikhansong, Divisional Superintendent, EBCC Lamka North Division, who joined the gathering and offered a special prayer and words of encouragement for the students as they embark on their new academic journey.

CCI and TMI look forward to another year of meaningful learning, personal growth, and continued progress for every child.
