Pune city, also known as “The Oxford of the East” is well documented for its educational and cultural richness. Many professionals and students across the country and around the globe have been attracted to Pune due to the well-known academic and research institutions in the vicinity. The city has, therefore, seen an amalgamation of population of artists, educationists, scientists, professionals and students from every corner of the country and world, which has vast geographical and so cio-cultural diversity.

It, therefore, requires efforts and actions to create and maintain a sense of bonhomie among this diversified people to bring peace and harmony in the city. We believe, that knowing among each other and appreciating each other’s strength and beauty can bring peace, harmony and integration among diversified people in the city and hence to the nation. With this long felt need, Association of Manipuri Diaspora (AMAND) Pune, chooses to present the rich socio-cultural heritage of its home State, Manipur through a cultural program “THE BLUE HILLS - EXPLORE THE UNEXPLORED, A MANIPURI CULTURAL EXTRAVAGANZA” with a motto of “LET THEM KNOW US AS WE KNOW THEM” under the agies of Dept. of Arts and Culture, Govt. of Manipur.
