The event aimed to delve into the roots of names of places in the Garo Hills region, providing students with a unique perspective on the linguistic and cultural aspects of their surroundings.
The seminar comprised three enlightening sessions, each expertly moderated by distinguished faculty members. Dr. Barbara S. Sangma, Dr. Colnat B. Marak, and Ms. Anitha Ch Momin facilitated discussions that encouraged students to explore the origins and significance of place names in the Garo Hills.
