In its endeavour to revive Maram cultural heritage, Maram Students' Union (MKS) will release Maram Folk Tales Volume 2, conveyed a statement issued by the president of MKS.
The aim of the initiative is to preserve and promote the traditional story telling (oral narrative) skill which is dying a slow death, the statement said.
The Maram Students' Union (MKS) is also undertaking documentation of Maram cultural and traditional festivals, indigenous games and sports, parables, maxims, proverbs, ballads etc.
A number of folk tales were compiled in a booklet and released under the title "Maram Naga Folk Tales" during the 38th MKS General Conference in 2013 .
Stating the initiative requires a mass movement, the union appealed to contribute and make the Maram Folk Tales Volume 2 a success.
