In a significant move to support those displaced by recent conflicts, Smt. Nemcha Kipgen, the Minister of Textile, Commerce, and Industry, visited the DIET training centre in Lhanghoi, Leikop village, Kangpokpi district. During her visit, she distributed the fourth one-time financial assistance package aimed at providing clothing and personal belongings to the residents of the relief camp.

The district administration, in collaboration with local NGOs, has been actively running intensive skill development programs at the centre. These initiatives are designed to enhance technical knowledge, foster innovation, upgrade existing skills, and ultimately promote income generation among the camp's residents.
