Speaking in the event Mr. Nampibou Marinmai, IIS Director, DD Aizawl, Govt. of India, a resource person in his address, he emphasized the importance of cultural preservation and upholding the rich, age-old heritage of the Liangmai community, highlighting the adverse effects of urbanization, colonization, and loss of identity and shared about the ethics and values of our culture.

He expressed that lack of any developmental work in our society is the sign of weakness in individual(s) responsibility. It has become a tradition in our society that we are fond of speaking other dialect rather than our own mother tongue.

In the seminar Dr. Wichamdinbou Mataina, Asst. Professor Tetso College, Dimapur as a resource person spoke on the topic "a uniform writing system in Liangmai to preserve our language digitally". He said education is the only means to develop our literature and majority of the tribes language and spelling are 88 percent abstracted from the religion.
