The Kuki Students’ Organization, Delhi, was consecrated on the 18th of Aug, 1987 whose draft aims and objectives were the following:
To promote, and determinedly strive for excellence in academic pursuits, different competitive examinations. To encourage morality, social probity, decorum, decency and age old values of respect for elders. To preserve and to sustain an abiding link with our tra
ditional and cultural moorings. To act as a loose federation of all sisterly organizations existing in Delhi with a view to providing them with a common platform to voice their interest and air any grievances as one unified force. To revitalize and strengthen the fading consciousness of One-Nation and One-People among students belonging to different tribes knitted closely as they were by reasons of affinity in language, customs, traditions and culture. To stand as a bulwark of defence against narrow sectarian ideas, parochial and divisive tendencies.
