He secured 193rd rank in Civil Services Exam in 2012. He cleared Class X in 83% from St. Joseph's School Imphal in 2001 and class XII (Sc) in 80% from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Imphal in 2003. He has completed MBBS in 67% from Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal in 2010. He was awarded Gold Medal in Gynaeology.
Soon after graduation he worked in a mission hospital in Assam. There he was immensely touched by the plight of the people who were struggling for their two-square meals and ridden with poverty .This completely changed his aim in life, that is, to do something good for the poor people. This young doctor, within few years, became an IAS by securing the 2nd highest rank amongst the ST candidates and the topper of the entire Northeast states in the Civil Services Exam,2012.
Here is an exclusive interview of Dr. Neilenthang Telien with Mr. Bruce K. Thangkhal, Joint Editor of the CCpur based daily ZOGAM TODAY, at Delhi.

ZT: Why do you choose civil services as a career?
NLT: During my work in a mission hospital in Assam I was exposed to poverty and sufferings of which I had no idea about. Just treating the people medically was not giving me any satisfaction and I wanted to do more. Hence my shift to the civil services.

ZT: When did you start the preparation for CSE? When should one begin to prepare for this exam?

ZT: In the course of preparation, one is faced with many problems, queries and diffulties; where should one go for help or advice, especially the students staying in remote areas?
NLT: A PERSON WHO HAS GIVEN THIS EXAM SERIOUSLY IS THE BEST GUIDE. There is no other option even for those people staying in remote areas.

NLT: Clarity of ideas, ability to present things in simple ways and in a concise manner as well as the ability to interlink various subjects will go a long way in this.

NLT: I came to Delhi in July, 2011. It was for the purpose of preparing for the CS Exam.
ZT: Have you ever face any sort of discrimination in Delhi?
NLT: Nothing such.
ZT: Why do sometimes people from the North East face discrimination in Delhi? What is the main possible reason according to you?
NLT: Frankly it's because we look different and not all the people of this country know that there is a place called Manipur.
ZT: What role would you like to play for the development of the North East regions in general and Manipur in particular?
NLT: There are a lot of things I want to do. But I would like to concentrate on roads, education and tourism.
ZT: How can corruption be eradicated from our society as well as government institutions?
NLT: Corruption can't be eradicated by one man army. Everyone should do their bit in eradicating this problem. Even though it might take some time I believe that this evil will be removed.
ZT: What step would you suggest Manipur government should take up for those Civil Services aspirants, who are economically weak?
NLT: The government is currently giving incentives and I believe that it is a very important step.
ZT: What is your view on education system in Manipur?
NLT: It is good, but improvements can always be made. May be a shift from routine learning to creative learning and practical based learning will help in improving the education system.
ZT: How do you foresee your future as an administrator?
NLT: I see myself as a bringer of development wherever I am posted and I see myself as working mainly for the poor and the weak so that no one is left out.
ZT: What would you suggest to the aspiring candidates?
NLT: Learn to be creative and always be curious about new things. Enjoy preparing for the UPSC and don't let it be a burden.
ZT: Thank you very much for sparing your time and wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!
NLT: Thank You!

Life and Legacy of Rev Khaikhanthang: Pastor, Teacher, Leader
Reverend Khaikhanthang began his ministry as an evangelist and youth leader in the Thangkhal Christian Association (TCA), founded in 1981. He was a gifted man with a natural ability for creating songs, and he composed many Thangkhal Christian songs over the years. He also taught tonic solfa and singing to the youth.
![]() |
| TCA CHOIR |
Under his guidance, the TCA Choir emerged in 1982, made up of young people who loved singing. He taught them songs, Bible verses, and many other things. He helped the choir learn beautiful and uplifting songs, and they travelled to various Thangkhal villages to present action songs. Wherever they went, they received appreciation and blessings. Rev Khaikhanthang—fondly known as Sia Khaikhan—served as the main speaker during these visits. Sia is a respectful title used by the Thangkhals for a leader or teacher who guides a group.
One memory that stays with me from childhood was an evening service where he spoke about a visit to Ukhrul. He spoke about how the team performed songs and action songs, toured the area, and even visited a well-known cave. I remember listening with wonder.
He spoke slowly, calmly, and thoughtfully. People loved to hear him. In those days, he was seen as a man rich in knowledge, and the Thangkhal youth admired him greatly.

| TCA CHOIR 1982 |
Many years ago, I also attended a youth camp in Ngoiphai village where he was the speaker. Those good days are now only memories.
Among his many songs, one of the most notable is Vevaw Tazen Lai Ah Na Sa’ng, dedicated to the Thangkhal missionary who suffered in the Thangkhal hills.
Sadly, he was called home to be with the Lord on the morning of 24 July 2020 in New Delhi at the age of 60. At the time, he was serving as pastor of the Thangkhal Baptist Church, New Delhi.
After receiving Jesus as his personal Saviour in 1974, he felt called to the ministry of ‘Missio Dei’. Until his last breath, he served his Saviour faithfully.
Rev Khaikhanthang became one of the longest-serving pastors among the Thangkhals. His influence extended far beyond preaching, and his contribution to the Thangkhal Christian community was immense, inspiring, and deeply uplifting.
