The poetry award function was held as a part of the 19th foundation day celebration of IMAKHOL, a writers’ organisation.

Speaking at the function as chief guest, convenor Manipuri Language Advisory Board, Sahitya Akademi New Delhi Moirangthem Kirankumar Singh said that literature plays a significant role in human life. As such, it is very essential to promote and preserve the literary works of the society, he said.

He said, organising a foundation day helps in reminding what activities were taken up by that particular association. Besides, it would also help in charting out the future plans of the association, he added. It would not be possible to organise such an event without love, compassion and unity among the members of association, he said.
