In a competitive time like these, it is hope alone which drives progress and achievements.
Chaga Ngee ritual is a renewal of hope by sanctifying themselves in a hope of achievements and accomplishment, he said.
The Minister reached out to the young population of the State and warned them of the confusion with respect to their culture.
"We are living through a transition period and it is the youth alone who will determine a peaceful and harmonious space for the generation to come.
Tribes, communities have lost their culture in an exchange for fancy lifestyles and the ultimate loss is their identity", he said.
He expressed his gratitude to the organizing committee and pleaded with all communities across the region to celebrate Chaga Ngee in their own capacities by sharing hope, love and goodwill, in the form of exchanging sweets in the least.
Awangbow Newmai further assured the gathering to put forward the matter of declaring Chaga Ngee as a restricted holiday in the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
