Imphal, June 30 2025: A 1-day awareness programme on "Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), Eco-Niwas Samhita (ENS), and Energy Conservation & Sustainable Building Code (ECSBC)" was held today at City Convention Centre, Imphal.

The programme was organised by the State Designated Agency, Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL), for technical officials of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and the MAHUD Department to enhance their understanding and preparedness for implementing energy-efficient and sustainable building practices in Manipur.

The event was graced by M Rabi Singh, Managing Director, MSPDCL and Ngangom Uttam Singh, Director, MAHUD as the chief guest & president respectively.

The sessions were led by Ragini Goswami, a master trainer in energy conservation and sustainable building design.

Delivering the keynote address, Md Riyajuddin Khan, General Manager EC-II, MSPDCL, emphasised the pivotal role of the SDA in the implementation and enforcement of ECBC at the state level.

He also highlighted that the agency is actively involved in organising awareness campaigns, conducting intensive training programmes, and working towards the official notification of ECBC in the State gazette, which will mark the beginning of its enforcement.

Ngangom Uttam Singh noted that building codes must reflect local climatic conditions and regional demographics to ensure effective and sustainable design solutions.

M Rabi Singh underlined the importance for all stakeholders to become well-versed with these codes, as compliance will become mandatory following their notification in the State gazette.

Through technical presentations and interactive discussions, the programme served as a crucial step in reinforcing the State's commitment to sustainable development, energy efficiency, and environmentally responsible urban growth.
