The project is stated to target the young minds, children from 5-15 years and youth from 16-25 years of age including the women who are also known as the architect of a society.

There are reported to be 3 partners in Manipur as MANEDA in Senapati, Saikul in Kangpokpi district and 1 in Tengnoupal district.

The activity of the project is to inculcate the value of humanity in the young minds so that the thought of ism is kept away with in the society among sub-tribes.

16 villages representing all the tribes including 2 villages of Maram tribe, 2 Thangal villages, 2 Kuki villages, 2 Mao villages, 2 Poumai villages, 2 Liangmei villages and 1 Tangkhul village.

The 16 villages would reportedly try to bring out the ideas of the society with the target to Govt schools and Primary schools what they aspire from the society.

The project would target to form Children's Parliament by giving them ideas and come out with their own ideas including the women organizations where, such written report would be sent up to the village authorities, CSOs, district DC, state capital and even to national capital including the President of India.

It is reportedly a platform to put new ideas for betterment of the society although it may take some processes to come to reality, the director stated.

Pung Mark, President, Senapati District Students Association exhorted the gathering where he expressed his happiness for the concern of the young minds targeting especially the students community under the project.
