Imphal, September 24 2015:
The 7th foundation day celebration of Guru Kulla Academy Khurai Kongpal Sajor Leikai and inauguration of rehearsal hall was held on Thursday at Guru Kulla Academy Hall of Khurai Kongpal Sajor Leikai where 'pung cholom' maestros Leishangthem Babuchaoba and Yumnam Jatra were honoured with Guru Kulla Memorial Award.
MLA of Khurai A/C and Chairman Manipur Pollution Control Board, Dr Ng Bijoy attended the function as chief guest while Sahitya Bhushan Awardee Kh Nimaicharan and Director Progressive Artist Laboratory (PAL) N Tiken were the president and guest of honour respectively on the occasion.
Speaking on the function, Dr Ng Bijoy said that most of the dance books have been written by non-Manipuris and Manipur's contributions can be recognized only when the Manipuris write such books.
The Dance College in Manipur is yet to become a complete college as the Government lacks interest on it, Bijoy said while adding that Sociology and English subjects are needed in developing culture.
