PREFACE
Learning through Pictures/Visuals is one of the easiest methods ofleaming. Visuals and Pictorials aid in conceptualization and make learning easier and faster. Indeed, we also acknowledge that visuals break language barrier between different linguistic groups and it also helps the children in faster learning. It is heartening to see the completion of this Manipuri Pictorial Glossary, which is a product of collaborative work between Central Institute oflndian Languages, Mysore and the SCERT, Government ofManipur. The need ofsueh a book has long been felt, more urgently so in the backdrop of the inclusion ofManipuri Language in the Sch Schedule of the Indian Constitution and we hope, this publication shall fill this void to some extent.
I am sure this Manipuri Pictorial Glossary will cater to the needs of a wide spectrum of the society including school children, parents, teachers and every one alien to the Manipuri Language. lam wholly indebted to CllL, Mysore for its overwhelming initiative and support in bringing out this publication. lt is,
indeed, a pleasure to see the end result of all the efforts divested towards this work. Lastly, I thank all the Expert Committee Members namely: (1) Shri W. Tomchou Singh, (2) Shri N.
