Union Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurated the Nagaland Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (NIMSR) in Kohima.

This became the 1st medical college in the state.

NIMSR will act not just as a teaching institute but also as a research institute.

NIMSR Kohima's goal is to offer a well-rounded medical education to MBBS students who are part of the NIMSR program.

Additionally, it aims to provide comprehensive healthcare services to patients through a combination of hospital-based and community outreach programs.

It also aims to support research efforts within and outside the institution.

NIMSR Kohima maintains an affiliation with Nagaland University.
