Imphal, February 21 2023:
Artiste Training cum Educational Research Centre (ATERC) celebrated its 20th Foundation Day at Leimay-ol Arts Centre in Singjamei Chingamakha on Monday.
The function was attended by Manipur Handlopm and Handicraft Development Cooperative ehairman MLA Khongbantam Ibomcha as chief guest and ATERC president Sobita Soubam as president while social activist K Dilip, LEIKOL president Kshetrimayum Subadani and former DI/DDO Tekcham Bikomdas Meitei were present as guests of honour.
In his speech, Ibomcha urged against banning songs, plays and films, which are helpful in promoting the state's rich art and culture to the world.
The recognition brought by art and culture despite the miniscule fund allocation in the budget of the government, shows the strength and hard work of the individuals involved.
In addition, writers/authors should be honoured for their efforts to guide the society onto the right path.
Thus, collective efforts are needed to wash away the dirt from the society, he asserted.
As part of the celebration, the dignitaries released a book titled, 'Amuktadi Noklammu' penned by KC Mangang.
Khori Ehul editor Sanasam Nabadip shared his thoughts on the book.
