\nThe award which was sponsored by the family of Khomdram Dhanachandra, founder president of MDU, included a sum of Rs 10,000, citation, shawl and a walking stick.
\nAfter floral tribute being paid to the departed artistes, Awardees (National and State) namely Heisnam Kanhailal, Padmashree, National Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellow – 2011 and Kamalkumari National Award – 2012; and Ranbir Mangang, Manipur State Kala Akademi Award (Theatre) – 2011 were felicitated with citation and shawl.

\nDuring the occasion, Heisnam Kanhailal briefed about his life history and what theatre means to him.
\nHe also recalled some of his famed plays.
\n“During the 70s, I could not speak anything about theatre. It was from the 80s that I started learning about theatre and I could articulate my desire”, he said.
\nHe then said that young research scholars from JNU and others have approached him for their PHDs and to seek a new incarnation of acting.
\n“Also actors from South Africa will be coming to learn from him for three months”, he said.
