20-year-old Regina Kimnilam, was living a peaceful life in Ukon Thingkangphai village, until the ethnic clash broke out in Manipur in May. She had to leave her loved ones including her brothers and relatives who stayed back to guard their villages.
She is among two others including Mercy Singneimoi and Esther Neijahoi, belonging to the Kuki community, who took refuge in a camp at Lamka in Zalenmun village and arrived at the Don Bosco College of Arts and Science College at Angadikadavu in Kannur with a hope to pursue their higher education.
They are the first ones to join the English literature graduation course after Kannur University announced admissions to students from Manipur who were unable to continue studies due to the ethnic strife.
