Nyibu Nyigam Yarku – Yekar
We are a residential gurukul in the hills of Upper Subansiri, founded in 2025 under the aegis of the Donyi-Polo Cultural and Charitable Trust. We share the Trust's aims, objectives and motto.
Our first batch of students arrived on 27 July 2026. Our conviction is simple: a Tagin child should be able to sit any examination in English and still know the songs of the Nyibu, the names of their clan, and why we speak of the sun and the moon in one breath.
