A 16-member Zomi Cultural Troupe (14 girls and 2 men) from the Zomi Youth Association (ZYA) GHQ, Lamka, arrived in New Delhi on March 6, 2013, via the Rajdhani Express from Guwahati. They are currently accommodated in a hotel at Sant Nagar, East of Kailash.
The team is set to perform cultural dances as representatives of Manipur during the International Women’s Day celebrations at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), CV Mess, Janpath, New Delhi, on March 8–9. The event will be inaugurated by the Union Minister for Culture, with prominent women dignitaries such as Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Smt. Sheila Dixit expected to attend various sessions before the event concludes on March 14.
The team may also participate in Sunday worship services at EBC Church, Dwarka and ZCF, Parliament Street. A Delhi sightseeing tour is planned for March 11, before their return journey on March 12. All travel and accommodation expenses are sponsored by IGNCA.
ZYA Delhi Region is maintaining regular contact with the team. This marks a historic moment as it is possibly the first time a Zomi cultural troupe is representing Manipur at a national-level programme organised by an autonomous body under the central government.
