Dimapur, Nagaland | March 10, 2026 – Tetso College officially kicked off the 7th edition of the A&D Solar Enterprise Pow-woW Arena National Level Sports Festival today with Ms. Andrea Kevichüsa Model and Actor as special guest. The Pow-woW festival is one the largest youth festivals in Nagaland with 33 institutions participating including 3 from Assam. While the spirit of athleticism took center stage, the event was marked by a historic milestone for the state’s educational infrastructure: the inauguration of the Miyazaki Narrative Lab, a professional grade video production studio.
This professional-grade studio is equipped with industry-standard broadcasting technology, soundproofing, and high-end post-production suites. This development effectively positions Nagaland as a burgeoning destination for Mass Communication and Media Studies. By providing students and creators with access to the same caliber of equipment found in national media hubs, Tetso College is bridging the gap between academic theory and global industry standards.
"This studio is not just a room with cameras; it is a catalyst for the creative economy in Nagaland", stated Principal Dr. Hewasa L. Khing. "We are providing a platform where our youth can produce content that competes on a national level, making our state a hub for modern storytelling and professional media training."
