Deputy CM lauded the 'trendsetting' efforts of KEDO volunteers in bringing a new wave of employment opportunities to the educated youths.

He added that such a philosophy had been adopted by the developed European and American countries long time back.

He saluted such types of work force and termed them as the noblest and most respectable section of the society.

He also expressed his happiness in learning that KEDO has made so many achievements in its short journey and also in seeing the love that the women vendors have shown to the members of the organisation as their own children.

PDA Chairman Mangibabu also appreciated the hardworking spirit of the KEDO members and appealed all to respect this labour force.

He added that such revolution in the labour work sector of Manipur will help in taking petty labour jobs from outsiders.

He also announced that PWD will soon start repairing the present Ima Keithel to maintain it well and to make it more convenient to the women vendors.

IMC Chairperson Nimai Sharma also thanked KEDO for lending help in activities of the council.

As a part of the function, women vendors of the three Ima Keithels felicitated KEDO President Soibam Maniton, who was recently honoured with an award at the International Conference on Dynamics of Banana held at Jagao, Maharashtra.

On the occasion, the women vendors also honoured KEDO members M Tiken, Y Ranbir and K Tolenkhomba for their outstanding performances.
