The BJP Manipur Pradesh has announced the organisation of two major creative competitions as part of the upcoming observance of the 28th Athoubasing Ningsing Tha, August 2025.
A Patriotic Poem Recital, Leibak Ningba Seireng Changdamnaba, will be held on August 27, 2025, at Yumsakeisa, while a Painting Competition, Lai-yekpa Changdamnaba, will take place on August 31, 2025. Both programmes are being organised to pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs of Manipur’s glorious past and to encourage young people to express their patriotism through art and literature.
The Patriotic Poem Recital will be based on the theme “Anglo-Manipur War, 1891,” whereas the Painting Competition will focus on the theme “Chahi Taret Khuntakpa.” Participants will be grouped according to their classes and age, including students from Class III to V, Class VI to VIII, Class IX to XII, as well as an open category.
Winners in each section will be honoured with attractive cash prizes, with first prizes ranging from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000, second prizes ranging from Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 5,000, and third prizes of Rs. 3,000. In addition, seven consolation prizes of Rs. 1,000 each will also be presented in every group to recognise and encourage promising talents.
For the poetry competition, participants are required to submit their entries along with their full name, address, and contact number to Room No. 16 of the BJP OBC Morcha Office located at Thambal Sanglen, Nityaipat Chuthek, Imphal, by August 22, 2025, before 4 pm. For the painting competition, the last date of submission has been fixed on August 27, 2025, before 4 pm, and school students taking part are required to submit a photocopy of their school identity card along with their details.
According to the Athoubasingi Ningsing-Tha Observation Committee of the BJP Manipur Pradesh, the competitions are being organised not only to remember the sacrifice of the forefathers who fought valiantly against colonial rule but also to instill patriotism, creativity, and historical awareness among the younger generation.
