Imphal hub is the 450th hub and one of the newest hubs in the world. This is their first participation
in an international event and can be expected to attend more later this year. With Armstrong Pame,
IAS, as its Founding Curator, Global Shapers Community: Imphal Hub came into existence on
August, 2015.
Some of their notable works are - "Meet Your Idol" that encourages youths to excel
in their potential through inspirational talks; "My Story For You" a column in one of the local dailies
sharing inspirational stories; "#MobViolenceSucks", an awareness campaign to discourage mob
violence in the state; launching the "BloodDonor.me" mobile app, which was designed by the
Chandigarh Hub to easily connect a blood donor and a recipient.
Presently they are working on
rehabilitating one of the villages which was affected in the recent earthquake.
Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum and is spread out in a
network of hubs in 453 cities in 160 countries. This community led by exceptional and driven young
achievers below the age of 30 with a passion to make a contribution to their communities, aims to
provide youth with a global platform to shape the future – integrating the personal, community and
global dimension.
