Imphal, November 30 2014 :
The 5th death anniversary of Padmashri Th Babu who served as Pradhan Guru at Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dace Academy was held on Saturday at the Audirotium of the Academy with former vice chancellor of Manipurt University H Tombi as the chief guest.
Manipuri culture which is unique in comparison to others has been inherent in the blood of the people of this land, said Prof H Tombi in his speech, while pointing out that the state is lagging behind in the aspect of Solo Dance.
Researchers and more students on Solo Dance need to be produced in Manipur, he suggested.
There is need to frame an effective cultural policy of the state, besides strengthening the State Kala Academy, Tombi asserted in the function presided over by L Joychandra, former Director of JNMDA.
