ESTABLISHED 16th July 1992 Thursday

Ukhrul-East District of Manipur, India.

NSCP through the years

Networking Service for Community Participation- NSCP was established on the 16th of July 1992 in Ukhrul District of Manipur, India. Manipur being the bordering state of India to Myanmar, which is a part of “The Golden Triangle” and Ukhrul being the other bordering district to Myanmar with no security along the borders became another route in the long track of the opium business

The Golden Triangle is located in the area where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong Rivers. Along with the Golden Crescent, it is regarded as one of the largest producers of opium in the world from the 1950s until it was overtaken by the Golden Crescent in the early 21st century.

Phase 1

To summarize the working of NSCP, since its inception is that it has followed and kept a close watch over a trend or a particular trajectory. Founded in the early 90s to combat the rising trade and usage of heroin in the state. Our initial initiatives began at grass root level campaigns/ awareness/ sensitization by organizing seminar/workshop/training with the participation of community base youth clubs, Women Wings, Village Panchayati Raj( Village Authority) , any faith group(s) on issues that concern the general public.

Those burning issues listed were:-

Phase 2

As the Golden triangle reigned supreme being the largest producer of Opium for nearly half a century. Its neighboring nations also bore its consequences. With the booming of the trade, Ukhrul became the unofficial trade route. Moreh, the Indo-Myanmar border was the official nation recognised border and international trade happened along the border. Eventually the security along this border was also much tighter as compared to the Ukhrul was a forest terrain region.

The trade route of Ukhrul was the demise of its own people as the youths of the district, both men and women, fell prey to the psychedelic getaway from reality. The result of this can be observed in the report of …… where Ukhrul became the district in Manipur with the highest HIV/AIDs infected and affected individuals.

HIV/AIDs was a thing of the future at this time period but the stench of it has been felt but before its complete domination over the society, NSCP embarked on another journey with grave anticipation of the future. The second trend which the organization had to follow the route of Social awareness on HIV/AIDs and drug rehabilitation

Phase 3

An aftermath of the substance abuse in the state for various reasons mentioned above resulted in birthing yet another trend within itself. As the hype around “The Golden triangle” slowly died down after being overtaken by “The Golden Crescent” in the early 21st century. This newly birth social trajectory which the NSCP was set to follow the epidemic of HIV/AIDs.

As the wind of change blows over Manipur, drug addiction and substance abuse was a thing of the past. We never ever truly get rid of it. But a new thing was upon us, something different, something far less forgiving, something……. Like a lover’s scorn, everything it touches, measure for measure, a life for a life.

Although AIDs have scorned the west, and news of it has spread far and wide, when it comes under the cover of sexual liberation and substance abuse, like the icing on a birthday cake. Nothing could have prepared us, Ukhrul-Manipur for AIDs.

The third phase of the organization is when we really started narrowing down the target population and setting our focus on specific group of people. Although our working with the society and community never stopped, it is somewhere around this era, that we observed how our focus shifted from the general public to much narrow collectives.

Phase 4

Ten years into the fourth trend of the organization and after a decade of effectively offering service to the target population, NSCP saw the rise of another trend. Decades after the fall of the Golden triangle and the psychedelic wave which nearly engulfed three fold generations, the battle with the aftermath and what was left was far from over.

The common theme we saw as we organized health camp annually for HIV

The common theme which led to the dawn of the fourth phase of the organization was the observation of the prevalence of orphans or children in need of care and protection attending the health camp which was a part of the organization’s third phase initiative. The annual health camp which was organized by the organization was a once a year opportunity where HIV infected from far flung districts of the state living below poverty line were given medical check ups, diagnosis and treatment free of cost. The attendees were all brought together through workers and representatives from each district. The observation within this health camp was that multiple children would attend the camp without any guardian or elder. This led to the initiative called Tabitha home under the organization and will constitute the fourth phase of the organization.

Phase 5

GROWTH & EXPANSION: COVID and NSCP

In the journey of an organization filled with unexpected turns, we were presented with yet another chance of rediscovery as we dawn upon a new decade.

As COVID took over the world, quarantine and social distancing became the new norm.

After completion of working almost 21 years within the jurisdiction of Ukhrul District or Tangkhul Naga community, we came to know the NEEDS of serving a larger interest for different communities in the state. Hence NSCP shifted to Imphal; with its wide resolution of the General Body Meeting dated 11-3-2013 that has been upgraded from District level and the area of operation will cover the whole of the state of Manipur.
