Her contributions towards spiritual development, woman empowerment shall always be remembered for ever by the Bishnupriya Manipuri community, the Society said and added that it was for her determination and commitment towards society that the ‘Nuwa Ela’ is still blooming and igniting the society to reach the goal of perfection.
