Library of Manipur

Our Mission

Library of Manipur is on a mission to create, preserve and promote books, audio and video contents relevant to Manipur and the people of Manipur.

Due to the conflict and ongoing unrest, many have migrated out of Manipur for education or a job resulting in the inability to read the Manipuri script. Additionally many old books were lost. This causes a great need for preserving books and creating audiobooks. We hope to fill in the gaps as well as tell our stories to the world.

Let the words of our ancestors, elders and people lay a strong foundation of knowledge of our roots and identity. Let the words heal us during low phases in life, giving us strength and inspiration to move forward.

Join us in invoking the sense of pride, love, and unity for Manipur wherever you are in the world with your writing.
