AWARDEES
AWARDEES
“MEINGAL

talent & dedicated services of our fellow people. To start with the scheme,
the NGO has decided to search such people from the female folk from the
Bishnupriya Manipuri community who had contributed exceptional role skillfully
and intelligently for self, family and the social development work. First of
all, it is necessary to realize the individual role of a person, the role
played for a family and the services towards the society. Wide circulation through different newspapers, website, oral
contacts etc were made to collect such information, but not a single
information came up voluntarily from anyone except one or two. Then, the team
members started searching on their own in different villages, towns, cities
etc. through resource persons. It has been a very tough task to reach these
persons personally. We are very grateful to all those persons who helped the
NGO to give and collect information on different personalities, specially to
Sashikanta Sinha(satara), Chandrakanti Sinha, Sunil Kr. Sinha, Asutosh
Sinha(Ravi) and Ashu Kanti Sinha apart from the team members and advisors of
Meingal. Pratibha Sinha has contacted to each and every person and collected
their biodata through personal and telephonic interviews. She has recorded an
interview with them personally; an extract of each interview is published in the
souvenir.
Thus, under the Meingal Exemplary
Talent Award scheme, the following two awards have been introduced for the year
2012 :-
- Meingal Bishishto Seva
Puroshkar - This award will be awarded to activists
for their exemplary contribution, distinguished and dedicated services in
different fields of social work, mass media, etc.
- Meingal Bishishto Shilpi Puroshkar - This award will be awarded to artists for their outstanding performance and talent in the field of music, art and any type cultural activities.
Under
the Meingal Bishishto Seva Puroshkar,
six female social activists have been selected and under Meingal Bishishto Shilpi Puroshkar, two
female and four male artists have been selected from the field of music and
art. The list of awardees and their biodata along with interview is given below
and in the following pages. The NGO is delighted to honour these distinguished
