Imphal, November 17 2022:
Tourism Corporation of Manipur Limited chairman MLA Karam Shyam has stated that the bravery and courage of Manipuri women is known throughout history, not to mention of the important roles they have been playing in the society.
The Langthabal MLA made the statement while speaking as chief guest of the 3rd edition of 'Laibak Phabi Ningolsingi Khudol-2022' organised by Singjamei 360 at Sangai Hall of Hotel Imphal, here, on Thursday.
The event was also attended by Babina Health Care and Hospitality Industries Private Limited chairman cum MD Dr Thangjam Dhabali as president, while MU Manipur Institute of Management Studies assistant professor Dr S Kesojit and AIR, Imphal ex-senior announcer KK Wahengbam were present as guests of honour.
MLA Shyam continued that although the birth of a girl is not celebrated with splendour in Manipuri society, women have always played important roles in the society in all aspects.
Today, women are part of the policy-making process and they hold important posts'.
Unfortunately, many talented and capable women choose not to get married, which is detrimental for the future generation.
One should get married at the right age and time to ensure the survival of a disappearing community like ours, he asserted.
Stating that it is unfortunate to see many young women of the state getting intoxicated/under influence on social media platforms, the MLA urged parents/guardians to monitor the activities of their children closely and prevent the degradation of the respect and awe Manipuri women hold in the world.
As part of the function, gifts were presented to 50 'ningols' selected through a lottery.
