Imphal, April 28 2024:
Jana Neta Irawat Admirer & Research Centre, Manipur will be apprising Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur (COHSEM) to rectify the life story of Hijam Irawat in the syllabus as set by the Council.
In a press meet held with Irawat's 84-years old relative Hijam Indukumar Singh at Manipur Press Club here Sunday, Research Centre secretary general Dr Rk Sanajaoba said that Hijam Irawat is an iconic and important leader of the state.
As such, any writing related to him should be done as accurately as possible after proper investigation and research.
Stating that the claim that the birthplace of Irawat is at Pishum Oinam Leikai is wrong, Dr Sanajaoba said that the original birthplace is at Yaiskul Hijam Leikai.
He continued that the life story of Irawat, as published by CoHSEM based on the research papers of various scholars, was found to contain some errors after a detailed examination such as his birth place, family relations, and others.
Thus, the Research Centre will be urging the Council to rectify the mistakes in the syllabus for the sake of the future generations.
