Imphal, January 30 2014:
A four-day tribal cultural festival organized by Tribal Research Institute (TRI), Chingmeirong concluded at its Auditorium here yesterday.
The closing ceremony was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam as Chief Guest and Chairman of Hill Areas Committee Dr Chaltolien Amo as President, while Chairman of Manipur Tribal Development Corporation T Manga Vaiphei as Guest of Honour.
Chairmen and members of ADCs also attended the closing function as special invitees.
Speaking on the occasion, Deputy CM Gaikhangam said that people should build up work culture for a developed and progressive society.
The rich art and culture of the State would eventually die out if the people relinquish the work culture.
In fact, almost all festivals of the State are celebration of work culture of the ancestors as evident in several harvesting and work-related festivals.
He also appealed to all to promote peace and harmony among different communities and tribes in the State.
