Reyivolu Rhakho was conferred the KPC Impact Journalism Award 2025 during the National Press Day programme organised by the Kohima Press Club (KPC) at Hotel Japfü, Kohima, on November 16. The honour, instituted in 2020 to recognise professional excellence among journalists, is the only journalism award given annually in Nagaland.
