YIF Class of 2026
BA (Honours) History, St. Edmund’s College, ShillongKuvethilu holds a Master’s degree in History and has worked as a teacher in Nagaland. Deeply connected to her roots, she has contributed to community-led efforts to restore and document the Feast of Merit megaliths in her village, Phüsachodu. She also established a small public library at the local bus stand to encourage a culture of reading. Nature grounds her—she often finds peace among trees and forgotten footpaths. At the YIF, Kuvethilu hopes to delve into creative and critical writing, engage with diverse perspectives, and finally face her longstanding fear of numbers with quiet courage.
