Ladies and Gentlemen.
I consider it a matter of great pleasure and privilege to be present here today at the valedictory function of One Day State Level Workshop on Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture for Doubling of Farmers’ Income.  I, on behalf of the Government of Manipur and the people of Manipur and on my own behalf, extend our heartiest welcome to Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Hon’ble Vice-President of India on his first visit to the State of Manipur in this valedictory function. Thank you Shri Naidu ji for your gracious presence.
Manipur state is topographically, climatically and culturally distinct from the mainland of the country. Manipur, well known as a little paradise on earth is endowed with salubrious climate, varied habitat, luxuriant forest and rich cultural heritage. The pluralistic society, encompassing various faiths, religions, languages and ethnic groups is a unique characteristic of the state. The people, particularly the youth of the state are resourceful, energetic, yet the challenges are many. There are no big industries, thereby limiting the creation of employment opportunities for the ever increasing unemployed youths of the state. Lack of connectivity and short working season are constraints on the economic development of the state. The state is still lagging far behind other states of India in terms of availability of infrastructure for social and economic development. In this 21st Century, we are strategizing to be more practical in our approach to identify potential sector for improving economic condition of the people and solving the unemployment problem which is a major issue in the state.
Manipur being under the Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot and Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot, supports a unique and diverse vegetation, consisting of 450 species of orchids, 54 species of bamboo and 513 species of medicinal and aromatic plants These species play a significant role in the ecology and economy of the state. The state is also the repository of varied germplasm of rice, including the black scented rice and it is very heartening that many new varieties of rice have also been developed by the Central Agricultural University, ICAR and the State Government.  The state is also blessed with ideal agro-climatic conditions for production of large numbers of horticultural plants, such as flowers, fruits, vegetables and tuber crops. “Siroy Lily” whi
