Governor VK Duggal has greeted the people of the State on the occasion of Manipur's Statehood Day, 2014 which falls on January 21 .
In his message, the Governor said, ''Attainment of Statehood in 1972 fulfilled the long cherished desire of the people of Manipur for getting the full rights and dues of being a citizen of the country.
Thereafter, the State has progressed leaps and bounds, with a sharp increase in the plan allocation.
There is, however, still a long way to go for the people to become economically, financially and socially independent'' .
He appealed to all the citizens of the State to bring in an egalitarian society where everyone has equal share and help ushering in peace and prosperity for all.
