Members and team of Centre for Organisation Research & Education (CORE), Manipur have deeply mourned for their sad demise of their beloved "Pabung" Nongmaithem Nripen Singh who passed away in the morning of Friday, 21st March 2014) .
Nripen became a member of CORE in 2008 and continued to work with the organisation with dedication till the day of his demise.
During his six years of being a member of the organisation, he served in many capacities, including Accounts Officer, Researcher Emeritus and member of the Elders' Council as Honorary Treasurer.
He totally believed in our mission and gave all his whole-hearted strength to the activities of CORE.
He was our father and mentor and, above all, a comrade in arms.
Born on 17th October 1927, Pabung Nripen had a profound faith in humanity, social justice and a highly ethical conduct in public life.
Pabung left for us a rich and towering heritage that will be a challenge for us to honour.
The measure of a man is not - "how did he die" but - "how did he live", not - "what did he gain" but - "what did he give".
These are the units to measure the worth of a man, as a man, regardless of birth.
CORE salutes a man of uncommon worth in Manipur and grieves deeply along with his near and dear ones, according to a statement issued by CORE.
