The Morung or the dormitory occupied a significant place in the socio-cultural life of the Nagas. The Morung was an important institution of the Nagas to impart various skills of arts and warfare. Not only as a dormitory but served as a guardhouse during times of war. The Morung was built next to the village or in a strategically advantageous position to defend the village. Above all, it served as an institution that transmits the tradition, customs and laws from generation to generation. The dormitory is an important social institution, which sustains society, religion, culture and beliefs. The dormitories perhaps evolved to meet the need and requirement of society. The dormitory inculcates the young man and young women a strong sense of fraternity and corporate life in the village, essential for sustaining the tribal community life. With the advent of Christianity and the introduction of western education, these institutions began to decline gradually. This article attempts to examine the traditional system of education and the systematic functioning of the Morungs among the Naga tribes. The youths became acquainted with their history, culture, folklore, songs and dances. Above all important decisions of wars and raids were taken in times of emergencies at Morung.
