Manipur's chief minister called on senior citizens to play a proactive role in ensuring a secure future for the state's youth, emphasizing inter‑generational responsibility.
Manipur's chief minister addressed a gathering of community leaders, stressing that the well‑being of the state's young population hinges on the active involvement of its older citizens. He highlighted that elders, as custodians of cultural values and experience, have a pivotal role in mentoring and supporting youth in education, employment and social conduct.
The leader warned that neglecting this inter‑generational partnership could exacerbate existing challenges such as unemployment and social unrest among young people. He urged families and local institutions to create mentorship programs, share vocational skills and provide moral guidance.
By framing the issue as a collective responsibility, the chief minister aimed to foster a collaborative environment where experience and youthful energy combine to drive Manipur's development. He concluded by calling for concrete community initiatives that bridge the gap between generations.
The remarks come amid ongoing efforts by the state government to boost job creation and improve educational infrastructure, underscoring the political emphasis on youth empowerment.
Stakeholders were invited to submit proposals for elder‑youth mentorship schemes to the state administration within the next month.
