Imphal, February 062015 :
Tangkhul Katamnao Long, Imphal (TKLI) has expressed its delight to the initiatives of Ringui Village Authority to include women in decision making process.
In a press release, TKLI said Ringui Village Authority has embraced women as its member paving the way for a more inclusive and participative democracy at the last tier of governance.
Village Authority in Hills of Manipur is the institution of governance that is involved in issues of law and order and economic development.
Traditionally, women were excluded from this institution of governance thereby silencing the voice of an important constituent part of the society.
TKLI added that the action of Ringui Village Authority will bring change in meeting the challenges and desire of new generations and hope that there will be a transformation in local governance in the Hill villages of Manipur.
