The book fair is being organised by Unity Uplift Foundation (UUF), Imphal West and College Development Council under the sponsorship of National Book Trust.

He, meanwhile, said that two book fairs were held at MU last year.

Prof Lokendra emphasized that a university's success is measured by its students' research output and placement records.

To achieve this, he stated that Manipur University has been actively working to provide all sorts of opportunities to its students.
