The All India Congress Committee, in coordination with the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee, launched the AICC National Spokesperson Talent Hunt Programme in Manipur today as part of a nationwide initiative being implemented across different states of the country.
The programme was formally launched at the Congress Bhavan located on B. T. Road. Speaking at the event, AICC National Coordinator in charge Advocate Avani Bansal said the talent hunt initiative has been introduced to identify capable youth with communication skills and political awareness who can effectively articulate public concerns at the national level.
Advocate Avani Bansal stated that the programme aims to provide a platform for talented youths from Manipur, particularly those with the ability to speak on public issues, to raise the voice of the people of the state on national forums. She said that several issues currently affecting Manipur need to be presented clearly and responsibly at the national level to ensure wider understanding and attention.
She further explained that selected participants would be groomed to take on important responsibilities, including the role of national spokespersons who engage with national media channels and other prominent platforms. The programme also seeks to develop skills related to issue-based communication, fact-based public engagement, research to counter fake information and misinformation, and coordination of publicity activities.
According to the organisers, the talent hunt is open to interested participants who wish to apply before January 25. Applications can be submitted through the provided information channels by scanning the designated QR code and filling out the application form. Eligibility for participation is limited to individuals who have attained eighteen years of age.
