Hmar Students Association

Hmar Students Association

The Hmar Students’ Association (HSA), established in Imphal, Manipur, India, is a large and effective student organisation among the indigenous Hmar people.

History

When the Christian missionaries arrived in 1910, they brought with them the idea of organized education. Within two decades, the need for a common platform for students to work together and develop themselves was recognized. To that end, the HSA was formed. The HSA was one of the first organizations dedicated to assisting the Hmar people in their dealings with the outside world.

Motto

The motto of the student organisation is “"Sinin, Hrilin, Sanin, Thuoiin – Serve the Nation."”. The translation of which is “"Work, Teach, Help, Lead – Serve the Nation."” As its motto states, the HSA seeks to serve the people by working hard, teaching, assisting those in need and guiding not only its student community, but also the Hmar people.

Insignia

L. Keivom, now a retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) member, designed the organisation’s flag. The background of the H.S.A. flag is green in color. Inside the inner layer of a 2-layered circle, there is a 6-sided star in white, inside of which the abbreviated text of the organisation – HSA is inscribed, red in color.
