Convener of the State Level Chief Minister's Indigenous Martial Arts Committee and former Mister India Ksh Bhaktakumar was also seated on the dais.
Speaking at the occasion, the Chief Minister recalled how the forefathers of the State defended its territory from Awa and the mighty British with the help of martial arts.
He said that martial arts protected Manipur's freedom and helped script a glorious history of more than 2000 years.
To compete with other developed States of the country in the National level and other countries in the international level, it is really necessary for all to keep and maintain a healthy and disciplined society through martial arts.
It is thus a right time to open more training centres of martial arts and groom many youths from every leikai and village in both hills and the valley, he added.
In honour of the State Olympians, an Olympian park is coming up in Sangaithel and statues of 19 Olympians of the State will be installed, he said while adding that the State Government is very much committed towards providing excellent and world class sports training facilities in the State.
