Speaking on the occasion, MLA Surjakumar termed the recent policy of making Hindi up to class 10 in the northeast states as unfortunate.

He said that the new policy has the po-tential to endanger the languages of small communities in the region.

It needs extensive deliberation by the intellects and academicians of the region, he added.

Further stating that culture is an integral part of human civilisation, he stressed that as Manipuris have a position in the international platform due to its rich culture and tradition, everybody should play their part in promoting the culture, tradition, heritage and language of the state.

The MLA also lauded the association for its role and activities towards promotion of art and culture.

In his address, Dr Dhanabir Laishram said that those working in the field of art and culture should keep aside their ego and follow the Guru Sishya Parampara.

An artiste can never attain success with ego, he cautioned.
