People’s Campaign for Resurgent Manipur (PCRM) is a group of citizens of and from Manipur who are concerned with prevailing state of affairs in our state and thereby seeking change towards a new and better Manipur wherein the people – as collective and individuals – can live with dignity and well-being.
The campaign seeks to fight against the private and vested interests that seek to undermine the basic fabric of a collective life in Manipur and bring about a new political culture wherein public morality and issues of public importance play significant role in our society and polity.
In pursuance of its stated aims the Campaign seeks to cultivate a culture of dialogue and debates to generate informed opinions and choices on public issues and make political class, public institutions and leaders accountable to the citizens as individuals and as a collective by encouraging active involvement of private citizens in the affairs of the collective, and engagement in monitoring the functioning of public offices and institutions as well as the ways in which public official and elected representative of the people respond to or address the issues of public importance.
The Campaign is initiated by a group of citizens – mainly, professionals, students, youths – of and from Manipur who are concerned with the prevailing state of affairs in our beloved state and thereby seeking a change towards a new and better Manipur wherein the people – as collective and individuals – can live with dignity and well-being. The campaign is fundamentally all about self-initiative and involvement of every citizen of Manipur to bring about a change in the affairs of our beloved state. It is presented as a Campaign of the citizens, for the citizens and by citizens.
