Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla greets the people of the state on occasion of the Nupi Lal Day which is to be observed on December 12, 2025.
This day, also popularly known as “Nupilan Numit”, stands as a tribute to the extraordinary courage, resilience and patriotic sacrifices of the women of Manipur. The Nupi Lal movements of 1904 and 1939 remain shining chapters in our history where the women of Manipur rose with unmatched unity and spirit against injustice and exploitation. Nupi Lal was not merely a protest but a powerful testimony of women’s collective leadership and social consciousness. The brave mothers of Manipur transformed their pain into courage that culminated into a movement that continues to inspire generations. Their sacrifices remind us that the progress of any society lies in respecting and empowering its women, the Governor said in his message.
I call upon the people of Manipur to uphold the glorious legacy of Nupi Lal and continue to strive for a peaceful and harmonious society. May the spirit of our brave mothers guide us towards a future of prosperity, unity and progress, the message by the Governor added.
