She also called for support to weavers of the state in order to regain the lost work culture of the nation.
She exhorted the people to cultivate work culture with a view to make Manipur economically self-reliant.
S Chingtam Luwang said that protection and promotion of handloom is saving Manipur.
Even as handloom provides a source of income to the people of Manipur, the Government has done very little to promote handloom industry, he decried.
Observing that the Government has no handloom policy, Chingtam lamented that weavers of the state cannot meet even local demands.
A Birendra emphasised the importance of diligence and sincerity in making the state's economy self-reliant.
A magazine titled Shinnaibi Vol II was also released at the function.
