Imphal, February 20 2013:
The three-day State Level Youth Convention cum Yuva kriti and Cultural Festival organised by Nehru yuva Kendra Sangathan, Imphal Zone concluded today at Lamyanba Shanglen, Palace Compound.
The valedictory function was held with Parliamentary Secretary K Meghachandra Singh and Yaiskul AC MLA E Chand Singh as the chief guest and functional president respectively.
according to NYKS, Imphal Zone Director J Ruivah, the three day event had competitions in folk songs and dances apart from an exhibition in which handicraft items produced by members of youth clubs, mahila mandals and NYK SHGs were put on display.
Cash prizes and citations were also presented to winners of various events.
Addressing the gathering both the chief guest and the functional president called upon the youths to abstain from wasteful activities and channelise their youthful energy towards making Manipur a prosperous State.
The young participants were also advised to opt for self-employment ventures as expecting the Government to accommodate all the educated unemployed would be very remote.
Taking note of the participants being from different districts of Manipur, they also emphasised on organising similar events on a more frequent basis to enable the youths share their respective experiences, ideas and cultural values.
