President Droupadi Murmu on Friday (December 12, 2025) called on all the communities of Manipur to continue the efforts for peace, understanding, and reconciliation and said that the Union government is committed to the well-being and progress of the people of the State.
Speaking at a reception programme in Senapati district, Ms. Murmu expressed her happiness to be in the district which has a proud tribal heritage.
She said, "Today the nation commemorates the Nupi Lal Memorial Day, which is the prime example of female voice in bringing about positive social change. Manipur has rich cultural diversity with a large number of tribal communities. This diversity is evident in Senapati districts. I attended a reception at Taphou Naga village, where I was accorded a warm welcome by representatives of tribals of the district, and met with displaced persons."
She also said the Maram tribe, which is found in Senapati and Kangpokpi districts, is recognised as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal group and is the only PVTG group in the state.
"The unique culture of Maram contributes to India's tribal diversity," she said.
