The Chief Minister went on to state that teaching social norms and discipline to the young folks are equally important for the society to grow.

Mentioning that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mantra of 'Nation First' is praiseworthy, N Biren maintained that those who are truly educated will never engage in activities which are detrimental to the society.

Continuing that emergence of many entrepreneurs in Manipur and the role they take in shaping the society is laudable, N Biren said that establishing some fine hotels by a select few has made it easier for the tourists to find places of accommodation in Manipur.

Claiming that Manipur is becoming a favourite destination for many tourists, the Chief Minister stated that the Government has plans to establish a five star hotel in Manipur to promote tourism furthermore.

The pace of development will be slower without the involvement of entrepreneurs, he acknowledged and added that the Government introduced the Start-up Scheme to promote entrepreneurs with innovative ideas.
