Livingstone Foundation International

What Livingstone Foundation International does

Livingstone Foundation International is a private, nonprofit-governed educational institution headquartered in Dimapur, Nagaland, India, operating three integrated entities: Livingstone Foundation International School (a CBSE-affiliated K-12 residential cum day school, Affiliation No. 1430014, offering Arts, Science, and Commerce streams up to Grade XII), Livingstone Foundation College (a degree college affiliated with Nagaland University and recognized under the UGC Act, offering B.A. and B.Com programs), and Livingstone Foundation College of Nursing. Founded on October 15, 1988, by the Livingstone Foundation Society, the institution serves approximately 1,500 students, including 500 boarders, from Nagaland and surrounding regions of Northeast India.

The institution generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition and boarding fees, supplemented by transportation service charges and offset by merit-based and need-based scholarship concessions (up to 100% for top rank holders). Its go-to-market approach is direct on-campus admissions, primarily merit-based, supported by community-driven word-of-mouth, an active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), monthly newsletters, and reputation built through 35+ years of operation and national rankings (No. 1 in India for Co-Curricular Education in 2018; No. 13 in India in 2017). Differentiated offerings include unique skill development certificate courses alongside degree programs, NCC integration, a 45-student maximum class size, and a residential environment with on-campus house parents.

The institution is structured as a nonprofit under the Livingstone Foundation Society with governance led by Chairman Dr. Andrew Ahoto and Principal Dr. R.K. Behera, supported by a faculty team holding UGC-NET qualifications and advanced degrees. Its core technology is conventional educational infrastructure (CCTV, WiFi, e-library, computer labs) with no disclosed AI, software platform, or proprietary technology stack. Operating from a single campus in Thahekhu/Kevijau, Dimapur, the institution targets families in Nagaland seeking quality residential and undergraduate education as an alternative to sending students outside the state.
