After debuting in 1984 by Manipur player the world has been recognised our supremacy. The Lao angel game of 1984 in which Pangambam Nilkamal was participated in Indian hockey teams as goal keeper and has been remain as unforgettable moment of us.

In coming Rio game, 6 players from Manipur will be witness participating India in the event including Bombela in Archery, Mirabai in weightlifting, Sushila and Anuradha in women hockey team, Kothajit and Chinglansana in Man hockey team. A proud thing of us is that among 6 players, Bombela is representing consecutively 3 times in the Olympic in archery event. And one more proud of us is Sushila is representing as captain of India women hockey team. The India women hockey team is qualified in the game after almost 36 years of gap and give captain to a Manipuri player and is an indication of recornization of Manipuri player sprite. Many wishes are pouring from various section of the state and state government would announce incentive award and best wishes to the player. It is the high time for us when compare with other states. The quality of Manipur can be easily able to recognise by intellectuals even seeing population and geographical area.
