Imphal, March 03 2024:
The Manipur International Youth Centre (MIYC) is launching "Know Your Nation"--a yearlong campaign under the theme "Rebuilding Manipur" commemorating its 27 years of existence.
In a statement issued to the media today, MIYC said as part of the campaign, its volunteers will visit every corner of the State including educational institutions, public and private establishments "to once again re-learn the true political history of Manipur with our troubled people".
Under this campaign, the MIYC will work to build up a strong united struggle with the prominent CSOs, youth and student organisations of the State.
On the outset, the MIYC has launched its first annual lecture series on "Ghost of Peace-Why Not Abrogate SoO Agreement ..." by Dr Malem Ningthouja of Meitei Alliance, a conglomeration of Meitei organisations across the globe, it said.
One of the most important parts of "Rebuilding Manipur" would be making a strong intellectual force to protect the history of Manipur and counter those "idiotic propaganda distorting the history of Manipur", it added.
The MIYC further urged all the educational institutes in Manipur to conduct at least two periods in a week to learn the history and the National question of Manipur under the theme "Know Your Nation (Nahakki Nareipak Khangngu)" from the academic session 2024-25 .
The Manipur International Youth Centre (MIYC) was established on February 13, 1997 .
