A Manipuri students’ meet held in Guwahati centred on cultural heritage, educational concerns and the community’s identity, organisers said.
Guwahati hosted a gathering of Manipuri students where discussions revolved around preserving their cultural traditions, addressing academic challenges and affirming their collective identity. The meet provided a platform for participants to share experiences of studying away from home and to explore ways to promote Manipuri language and arts in the diaspora.
Speakers highlighted the importance of cultural events, language classes and community networks in strengthening identity among young Manipuris living in Assam. They also examined hurdles such as limited access to scholarships, language barriers in higher‑education institutions and the need for greater representation in local forums.
Organisers concluded the session by urging educational authorities and cultural bodies to collaborate on initiatives that support Manipuri students, ensuring their cultural legacy and academic aspirations are nurtured together.
