Mr. Thangsuanhang (Professor at Lawngtlai Government College, Mizoram)
Mr. Mangminthang (currently serving as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church)
Mr. Khupsuanhau (M. Tanglian), and
Mr. Khuplam (S. Geltui)

The TSP anthem, "Nun Bang Nuam E," was composed by Mr. T. Kapsuanthang, who passed away in 2013.

The event reflected the continued commitment of the Union to uphold these founding values and nurture future generations. May God continue to bless the TSP leadership and the students of Thangkhal!
