Manipuri language has rich vocabulary and it has also been recognized by others.
However, it needs to be preserved and enhanced furthermore amidst growing influence of several foreign languages, Prof Khogendra noted.
President of NOHAKHOL, Kunjo Ningomba said that the young writers of the State should be encouraged to write quality books.
They should also analyze the style of writing and contents of books published outside the State, he added.
