‘WOMEN IS THE EPITOME OF DEVELOPED SOCIETY’

Imphal, OCTOBER 1, 2017: On Day-2 of the 2nd Manipur Catholic Women Convention  2017, Social Welfare and Cooperation Minister Smt Nemcha Kipgen stresses that the chosen theme “Women in the Family, Church and Society” is an extremely relevant one as women of today is the epitome of developed society.

While delivering a speech as Chief Guest, Minister Nemcha expressed that as the lone Woman Minister in the present Government in the State, she felt deeply connected and privilege to be among all the women delegates of today’s function.
