Within the policy framework of Look East, this has been now enhanced by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India as Act East Policy. Manipur as a state and Manipur University of Culture as epicenter of cultural resources and activities inherently possess immense strength as ‘Culture’ is an essential element in our relationship with South East Asia. The main objectives of the University are promotion and preservation of the cultural heritage and strengthening the performing arts but also to ensure better coordination with South East Asian countries. At present there are 11 departments, viz., Visual Arts, Dance, Music, Umang Lai Haraoba, Sankirtana, Theater, Tribal Studies, Thang-Ta, English, Manipuri and Culture Studies. Affiliation of nine colleges of culture is in process. Several new avenues will be opened up for the advancement of academic and cultural exchanges which ultimately strengthen the brotherhood and sense of fraternity on the basis of common cultural elements.
