Addressing the gathering, Bishnupur AC MLA Govindas Konthoujam lauded the contribution of women in Manipuri society, noting their role in social, economic and political spheres.

He emphasised that the Indian Government has been working to uplift and develop rural areas through initiatives like the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NHRLM), with a special focus on women empowerment.

He further noted that Manipur too has adopted the Manipur State Rural Livelihood Mission (MSRLM), under which many SHGs have emerged as powerful tools for women's progress.

However, political differences often delay the inclusion of more women in such groups.

It is important that every women gets the opportunity to join SHGs so as to promote mutual support and economic empowerment," added Govindas.
