IBSD Cleans Imphal City during 150th Gandhi Jayanti
02nd October, 2018
IBSD Cleans up Ima Keithel (Mothers Market)
This morning, Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) , a National Institute of Department of Biotechnology, Govt of India, while marking the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi took
the initiative to clean up Kangla Fort and Ima Keithel.
This social activity was carried out by a large number of scientists, staff and students of IBSD who cleared and collected the garbage from these main areas of Imphal.
Prof. Dinabandhu Sahoo, Director IBSD, said this was organized to not only sensitise the people of the importance of sanitation and cleanliness for good health but also for educated youth to set an example for others. Such activities are also important for the cleanliness and health of the rivers, into which most of Imphal’s waste is being dumped indiscriminately.
During the cleaning of the market, several women vendors also joined in with the cleaning activities and helped unclogged several drains at the Ima Keithel (Mothers Market) , which is one of the largest all women’s market in the world, and an economic hub of the region, said Sahoo.
