Assam introduces Meitei script in edu institutes

Guwahati: The Assam Cabinet has given its nod to the introduction of the Meitei or Manipuri Mayek script in the educational institutions of the state. This decision, reached during the recent cabinet meeting, aims to provide students with the opportunity to engage with Manipuri literature and pursue higher studies in Manipuri using the Meitei or Mayek script.

The cabinet underscored the practical significance of this move, stressing that it would enable candidates from Assam to apply for jobs in Manipur that require proficiency in Meitei/Mayek.

Alongside this linguistic initiative, the cabinet also announced several key decisions during the meeting, focusing on themes of development and heritage preservation.

The approved initiatives include the allocation of funds for the beautification of the historic Rang Ghar in Sivasagar, the establishment of a new Medical College and Hospital at R.K. Nagar, Karimganj, and the construction of an open stadium at Amingaon Sports Complex, Kamrup.
