Imphal : “Manipur Rising,” an inspiring initiative, made its presence felt at Sunday Soul Sante, India’s largest flea market hosted in Hyderabad, leaving attendees captivated by the resilience and determination of the people of Manipur. This campaign is a beacon of hope for those who have faced adversity in the region, especially the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) striving for self-reliance.
Products crafted by 300 inmates from Mekola relief Camp, Moirang, Lamkhai, Phayeng, Chingmeirong, ideal college and Lamboi Khongngang Khong relief camps were showcased.

The items available for purchase at their booth are skillfully crafted by Internally Displaced People (IDPs) who are striving to earn a livelihood and regain self-reliance. This renowned event is celebrated for its vibrant showcase of contemporary arts, crafts, and unique handmade products designed by talented artists and designers. Shoppers can explore a wide range of offerings, from clothing and accessories to jewelry and home decor, making it a treasure trove for the creative and the curious.
What sets “Manipur Rising” apart at Sunday Soul Sante is its unwavering commitment to support the IDPs from Manipur. Purchases made at their booth directly contribute to the livelihoods and self-reliance of these individuals, shining a ray of hope and facilitating positive change in Manipur.
