Imphal, December 10 2022:
As part of the yearlong observance of the 100th birth anniversary of Maharaj Kumari Binodini, Leimarol Khorjeikol (LEIKOL) organised a programme to mark the 11th day of the observance at Divya Jyoti Ashram, Changangei Uchekon on Saturday.
Speaking as chief guest of the event, Manipur State Commission for Women (MSCW) ex-chairperson Dr Chongtham Jamini pointed out that women empowerment is not about wearing or donning many gold jewelleries but of showcasing their strength.
In these present times, discussions are being held regarding women and the people are aware of the prowess possessed by women.
The Ima Keithel is one such example showcasing the strength of women before the entire world, she said, while urging men to curb misogynistic instincts.
In her speech as functional president, LEIKOL president Ksh Subadini said that as the government would not be providing land to LEIKOL, the organisation will be purchasing a plot with the support of people.
Busts of MK Binodini and Khaidem Promodini will be installed once the purchase goes through, she added.
Organised under the supervision of author Chingangbam Sangaijaobi and that of LEIKOL, Manipur University dean School of Humanities Prof Nahakpam Aruna also attended the programme as guest of honour.
