Golden Jubilee Outreach Programme: Economics Department

As part of the Golden Jubilee Celebration's 'Gives Back' initiative, the Department of Economics organized a community outreach visit to the Operation Kingdom Ministry (OKM) Home at Phunchawng on October 10, 2025.

OKM Home serves as a crucial rehabilitation centre, providing care and support for over 400 individuals battling drug addiction. The primary rehabilitation model involves a structured seven-month program where residents engage in intensive Bible study and spiritual guidance. This program is designed to instil discipline, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. Importantly, the home operates on a voluntary basis, and residents are free to leave upon completion of this period if they so choose.

More than 50 students and six faculty members participated in the visit. The interaction provided a profound learning experience beyond the academic curriculum. Students had the opportunity to engage with the residents, understanding their journey and the challenges they face, as well as the transformative process they undergo.
