Independence Day celebration

As we celebrate Independence Day today we can ask a simple question to self what does this day mean to the people of the country. This question is also being put to the people living in this state. The hard earned national independence, which was achieved owing to gigantic task performed by our great leaders, cannot go to waste. Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi yearned for achievement of national independence without shedding blood. His agitation centred on non violence and ahimsa. None opposed his movement. He could carry the entire masses in his movement. Even the newspapers, which opposed his famous non cooperation movement, faced natural death, boycotted by the then readers. The trend sweeping now however is different from what prevailed then. Now every group desires newspapers to play a role in creating ground for the movement of any kind to survive. Newspaper is like a simple looking glass that reflects the image of the object put before it. If one performs something naturally its image will be reflected. Nothing that is done cannot be seen in the looking glass. India has been hailed as the largest democracy in the world but here in Manipur we are playing with the ingredients of the democratic values. We must not make any attempt to belittle the sacrifices made by the great leaders. What India today is not our creation? Policies and programmes framed by our forefathers shaped what India should be like. Principles and ideals of the great leaders of India egg on the country to move forward from where it was left by the Britishers. India is poised to become a super power in the near future. India’s Martian mission, which was unfolded and landing of unmanned machines on the surface of the moon indicates the giant leap India has made in the past few decades. India is honoured by the developed nations for the speed with which it has moved in the field of science and technology. Moreover the present leadership having inherited the legacy of the great leaders, who stood for the welfare of the hapless people, have formulated many schemes and policies to give benefits to the needy people. These schemes and programmes are for the future generation. A better future awaits India. Indira Awas Yojna, MGNREGA, which give job to the rural masses are some of the schemes that can be mentioned. Then health care programme for the poverty stricken people, all these programmes make the people proud of being called Indians. Now the President of India Pranab Kumar Mukherjee has unfolded his dream to erase hunger from the Indian dictionary. He can do it. He knows the Government at the centre is capable of carrying out pro poor programmes. Celebration of national Independence Day must have a meaning. Independence Day celebration must instil in the young minds the need for working hard and also to protect the unity and integrity of the country. Youngsters should be taught to imbibe Indianness. Let the celebration of Independence Day herald the onset of peace and tranquillity in this troubled torn region of the country. Happy independence day.

Ministry of Tribal Affairs gives Rs 10 lakh i’ll go for gold in Rio olympics: Mary Kom

Manipur Information Centre
New Delhi, August 14: In a befitting kick-start to a long series of recognitions and rewards awaiting India ’s boxing sensation Mary Kom back home, the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs was the first to felicitate the Olympic bronze medalist here this morning, immediately after she touched down the National Capital from London. Union Minister for Tribal Affairs and Panchayati Raj , V. Kishore Chandra Deo honoured the 29-year-old celebrity with a cheque of Rs 10 lakh at The Ashok hotel at Chanakyapuri here at 11 am. Sitting in the middle chair on the dais, Mary Kom who was flanked by Uinon Minister V. Kishore Chandra Deo on her right and Union Minister of State for Tribal affairs on her left received huge cheers from enthusiastic national media and the audience. Media swarmed on Mary Kom again at the venue after she met a large number of media at the airport this early morning.
In her maiden speech in the national capital after her arrival from London , Mary Kom expressed gratitude to all the people of India who extended constant support, prayed and wished for her to win the medal in London Olympics and I got a medal which was my long cherished dream on Olympics. She expected the gold medal but she couldn’t get it, she added.
She announced that she would try again for gold in Rio de Janeiro Olympics and sought the support from the public again. She said, “Support me and pray for me, I will go for the gold in Rio Olympics’. Born to a couple engaged in jhum (slash-and-burn) cultivation at Kangathei, Churachandpur District in Manipur, Mary Kom also had her share of hurdles like any tribal girl when she decided to enter the rings.
She burst into the national scene 12 years ago, became a mother of two (twin) sons, now aged five, midway her career, yet tenaciously sprang back to scene – and went on to win laurels. A bronze in the 51-kg flyweight category in London 2012 was the latest achievement in her progressively glorious career after achieving five world championship titles.
“This felicitation is special in many ways,” said Jiji Thomson, the Managing Director of Tribal Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Limited(TRIFED) that functioned under the Tribal Ministry. “Mary Kom epitomizes the grit and guts of Indian woman. She is going to be the flag-bearer and beacon for thousands of girls belonging to the tribal communities and aspiring to achieve greater heights”. In his opening felicitation speech, Union Minister of Tribal Affairs V. Kishore Chandra Deo said, “We are gathered here today to honor a lady, a tribal athlete, who has put India on the boxing map of the World (women boxing to be specific) by punching home an Olympic medal for India . She is the First woman athlete to bring home a boxing medal for the country in the first even Olympic featuring Women boxing as a field of competition. She is also the first Tribal Athlete to bring home an Olympic medal in the individual category. Please join me in congratulating the Tribal superwoman, M.C.Mary Kom”.
Addressing to M.C.Mary Kom, the Union Minister said, “We are proud of you. You have made Tribal India proud by bringing home an Olympic Medal for the country. It is belief and wish that your spectacular feats for the country will inspire endless generations of tribal communities and the rest of India in scaling newer and higher heights of Glory in future.”
He further lauded her, “M.C. Mary Kom created history by becoming India ’s first woman boxer to win a medal at the Olympics. Our very own talented and hard-working lady from the Northeast won a bronze in the 51-kg event at the just-concluded London Games’.
Kishore Chandra Deo described how Mary Kom was. He narrated, “Imagine a little girl being born to a jhum cultivation couple in a remote place in the hilly Northeastern state of Manipur almost three decades ago. In her toddler days and even later, Mary Kom saw her parents slashing and burning tracts of hilly land – and going ahead with their farming season one after the other.
Her interest, though, drifted onto athletics. She began participating with great flair and success in sporting events that were hosted by her schools in the city of Moirang initially and that in the state capital of Imphal subsequently. It was around that time that boxing started to appeal to her like never before. The dynamics of the combative sport and beauty of its movements as a martial art kept growing inside her as days passed by. They got a sudden boost in the year 2000, when inspiration came directly from none other than her state-mate Dingko Singh, a boxer who won a gold medal at the 1998 Asian Games at Bangkok’.
“So, what is special about the Olympic medal of Mary Kom”? The Union Minister asked himself and replied, “Well, let us no forget that India has a total of nearly 10 million tribal people. For that fraternity – underprivileged in general – Mary Kom’s latest achievement at London can be a matter of major inspiration. More so, considering that of the five titles India won at the 2012 Olympics, it is a tribal who has pocketed one”.
He further stated that the Government had to gain a clearer vision on how to brighten up the scheme of things in sports and games. “We should give a serious thought about building up a system that would ensure the strengthening of the skills of budding athletes at the grassroots level. Mary Kom’s story tells us the amazing results one can achieve largely through individual efforts rather than through a sound institutional setup. We have to alter this equation”, the Union Minister added.
Mary Kom’s mother Mangte Akham Kom, husband K.Onler Kom and his twin sons Rechungvar and Khupneivar were present in the felicitation function. The function was concluded with a colourful Komrem dance organised by the Komrem communities of Delhi . Mary Kom also joined the dance for a few minutes.
