IMPHAL, February 23: The Manipur State Cooperative Union organised a one-day seminar on the theme `Co-operative Movement can bring about Unity and National Integrity`™ under the sponsorship of National Cooperative Union of India, New Delhi today at Gandhi Memorial Hall.

In the inaugural function, Principal Secretary (Co-op) K Moses Chalai, Manipur State Cooperative Union president L Tompishak Singh and retired Additional Registrar of Cooperative Society, Th Manao Singh attended as the chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.

In his speech as the chief guest, K Moses Chalai said the co-operative movement is in a negligible State in Manipur when compared with the other States of India.

He further said that the State needs to improve the strength of the co-operative movement and it can be improved only when the movement is grounded in the economy because when the economy improves the cooperative movement will also automatically develop.

`Our State is small but we have proven to other States that we have a huge potential in the field of sports. Likewise, we have to show how cooperative movements are also growing in our State`, he said.

After the inaugural function, Th Manao Singh and Kh Tomba Singh presented papers on two topics which were `The crisis of national integrity can be solved when there is good co-operative movement` and `Cooperative can develop under the supervision and guidance of a regular state level cooperative promotion committee in the State`.
