RING
Revival of Indigenous Native Games
Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future.
RING - Revival of Indigenous Native Games, is envisioned as a state-level sports and cultural festival dedicated to reviving and promoting the indigenous sporting traditions of Manipur. It seeks to encourage youth participation and healthy lifestyles, strengthen social harmony and inter-community understanding, and create a platform to identify and nurture emerging sporting talent. At its core, RING aims to empower youth and foster leadership through the spirit of sport and shared cultural heritage.
The Manipur Upliftment Centre and the National Yuva Cooperative Society (NYCS) Ltd. have come together in a meaningful partnership to organise RING – Revival of Indigenous Native Games, combining their shared vision of human development, youth empowerment, and cultural preservation. This collaboration brings together the Manipur Upliftment Centre’s experience in community-based development and knowledge dissemination with NYCS’s extensive grassroots network and focus on youth-led initiatives across the country.
Through RING, both organisations aim to revive and promote indigenous games as a powerful medium for physical fitness, cultural identity, and social cohesion. The initiative seeks to engage youth in meaningful, activity-based learning while reconnecting them with their roots and traditional knowledge systems. By leveraging their complementary strengths, the two organisations are working to create a scalable model that not only celebrates heritage but also contributes to holistic development and nation-building.
This joint effort reflects a shared commitment to empowering communities, fostering pride in indigenous traditions, and creating opportunities for youth to participate, excel, and lead.
