Today marked the beginning of the first-ever three-day “floating” picture exhibition, which was put on by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Central Bureau of Information Regional Office in Imphal, Manipur. The innovative display is located on a specially built floating platform in the Loktak Lake and is reachable from the coast through a wooden causeway. In the more than 50 years of its existence, the Central Bureau of Information has never attempted such a setup. Administrative artists and private troupes from CBC, RO, and Imphal also performed cultural pieces on a floating stage built especially for the occasion. On boats, actual lakeside residents who work as fishermen and fisherwomen also danced.
Key Takeaways

- The general population can use it till Friday night.
- The union minister contends that the nation’s history of the freedom struggle must also highlight the real independence war heroes.
- The Central Government sought to include at least 100 unknown heroes from the northeast region in the compilation history of India’s liberation movement, according to RK Ranjan, the Union Minister of State for External and Education.
The first-ever floating photo exhibition
The regional office in Imphal of the Ministry of Data and Broadcasting’s Central Bureau coordinated the photo show. Several other dignitaries, including B Narayanan, director general (North East Zone), and Tongbram Robindro Singh, chairman of MSPDCL, Government of Manipur, and Dr Ranjan, officially opened the exhibition.
The show will feature 88 Manipuri language works from “Eight years of Seva, Sushasan, Garib Kalyan” and works from the lives of 11 lesser-known Manipuri liberation warriors. It will be accessible to the public through Friday night.
The exhibition depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission will likely be the first floating display in history, the Union Minister claimed in his speech. According to Dr. Ranjan, such a display will be able to encourage everyone while showcasing the numerous accomplishments made during Narendra Modi’s eight years as the nation’s head of state.
According to him, one of India’s notable accomplishments under the Prime Minister’s leadership was the country’s production of two COVID-19 vaccines in just nine months. In addition, India has the most proportion of COVID-19 vaccine recipients worldwide. The Union Minister noted that the nation is also giving the immunisations gratis to its neighbours.
According to the union minister, the true heroes of the independence battle must also be included in the country’s history of the freedom struggle. He added that the Centre would like to include the names of at least 100 independence warriors from the country’s northeast region.
The Central government is working on a composite history of the freedom struggle, not a clan history. The chairman of MSPDCL congratulated the Union ministry of communication & broadcasting for arranging the exhibition during his remarks as a guest of honour at the opening ceremony. The exhibition will remind people of the history of the independence struggle. Planning such an exhibition may encourage young people to have a sense of patriotism.
RK Ranjan’s words
RK Ranjan, the Union Minister of State for External and Education, stated that the Central Government wanted to include at least 100 unrecognised heroes from the northeast region in the compilation history of India’s freedom movement that is currently being written.
The Union Minister made this statement today during the opening of a three-day “floating photo exhibition” commemorating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s life and work at Loktak Lake in Manipur’s Bishnupur district. The floating display officially opened today is a first for the nation. Officials from the Union Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Central Bureau of Communication believe it to be the first of its kind in history.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi favours a multifaceted narrative of the liberation movement rather than one focused on dynastic lines. At least 100 independence warriors from the northeast would like to be included in it,” the union minister added. The fact that India was freed from the British through the coordinated efforts of the people, according to Ranjan, is a well-known reality.
He continued that just a small number of dynasties and leaders were represented by their names and contributions to Indian history. India has made significant progress in the area of development during its 75-year journey since gaining independence, according to Ranjan.
100 unsung heroes from the North-East region
According to RK Ranjan, the Union Minister of State for External Relations and Education, a composite history of India’s freedom movement is now being produced. The Central government would like to include the names of at least 100 unrecognised heroes from the North-East region. At the start of a three-day “floating photo show” honouring Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s life and work at Loktak Lake in Manipur’s Bishnupur district, the Union Minister made this declaration.
The exhibition, which was launched today, is a first for the country. According to representatives of the Central Bureau of Communications of the Union Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, it might also be the first of its sort in history.
Dr. R.K. Ranjan continued by saying that just a small number of people are represented in Indian history, and we have lost out on many important aspects of our history. Numerous members of our liberation army are overlooked and forgotten. The current administration, led by Prime Minister Modi, is attempting to resurrect those forgotten heroes so that they can be a part of India’s collective history.
Researchers and academics are attempting to learn more about these individuals’ accounts and contributions, which will be represented in Indian history.
Ranjan asserts that India has made substantial development progress for its 75-year journey after attaining independence. He cited India’s manufacture of two COVID-19 vaccines in just nine months as one of the nation’s major achievements under the current Prime Minister.
According to the union minister, the nation is also providing vaccinations at no cost to its neighbours. The regional office of the Central Bureau of Communication in Imphal served as the host for the expo, which was put on by the Loktak Lake Tourist Founder Society Ltd., Sendra.
