Imphal, October 09 2021:
The members of Meetei Mayek Research Center (MMRC), Malom should be provided with the responsibilities of Manipur Language Department at the earliest.
The above demand was made by Tongbram Mohendra Meetei, president of MMRC while speaking during a press meet held at Manipur Press Club today.
He made the above demand since no positive measures have been taken up and it has not been approved till date though it was recommended to keep Meetei Mayek Research Center as Manipur Language Department way back in 2004.He also appealed to the Government and its machinery to refrain from interfering in the working of MMRC and not to take up any initiative related with Manipuri language without consulting with MMRC.
He continued that all should learn Meitei Mayek and should possess relevant certificates validating that they have learned the language.
Expressing concern that the Government in association with different organisations is trying to suppress MMRC, he urged the Government not to work against the agreement between MMRC and Government after it was recommended by around 700 individuals that MMRC should be recognized as a competent authority.
Also Tongbram Mohendro Meetei appealed the Government to work earnestly to include Meitei Mayek in Indian currencies.
