The 16th foundation day celebration of Sheihek Sheireng Sheipan Shemgat Lup (SHEIPAL) was held today at Manipur Press Club.
As a part of the programme, Khomdram Bidhu and Leimakhubi Lifetime Achievement Award 2022 and Dr Mayengbam Kamala Sheirol Mana 2022 were presented to poets Hawaibam Jandho and Mutum Ramani respectively.
An anthology of poems titled 'Sanrik Pareng', published by SHEIPAL was also released.
Speaking as the chief guest, MLA of Wangkhei Assembly Constituency, Thangjam Arunkumar said that music has become an inevitable part of one's life.
He went on to state that there are different genres of music which one prefers to listen to during different phases of life but one hardly acknowledges the good lyrics and efforts of musicians apart from the singer which is really unfortunate.
The MLA further opined that music has evolved over the past few decades while expressing concern over the new trend of music and lyrics which fails to encompass all irrespective of age, gender etc.
The programme was also attended by Kshetrimayum Subadani, vice-president SHEIPAL, National awardee Anandi Konthoujam and Salam ongbi Bhajani, proprietor of Laija Enterprises as presidium members.
