Speaking at the occasion, Padmashree awardee Wareppa Naba had categorically stated that Manipur has been able to hold a special place on the global platform in art and culture owing to the efforts of the forefathers of the State who have left behind a rich cultural and traditional heritage.

He further stressed on the need of making cohesive efforts to safeguard the indigenous culture and traditions adhering to the norms followed by the forefathers.

Therefore the youths of today should research on the various aspects of such traditions to ensure that the same is carried forth to future generations, he added.
