From The Desk of :

Vice Chancellor-MUC

Manipur is well known for her unique and rich cultural heritage. She has a fine tradition of chivalry, art and culture. Her culture represents the perfect blending of aesthetic and ethical aspects in an extraordinary way which are very much necessary to cultivate in the present education policy of the State and as well as the Nation. The famous Manipuri Rasa Dance which has been one of the classical dances of India and the Sankritana of Manipur which has been listed in the Intangible Heritage of UNESCO are the clear examples of the aesthetic aspects of Manipuri culture while the internationally famed 'Hockey on Horseback' later came to know as 'Polo' and Manipuri Thang-Ta (Indigenous martial arts of sword and spear) are the clear examples of chivalry and ethical aspects of Manipuri Culture.


Prof. Paonam Gunindro Singh
The mission of Manipur University of Culture is to evolve policies and programmes which would enable to make the University a distinct one by fostering our composite culture through qualitative expansion of academic studies and researches which has been envisaged in the cultural policies of the State Government.
