IMPHAL, May 30: The Nahakpam Foundation for Development will organise the Third State Level Watermelon festival from June 12- 17 at Iboyaima Sumang Lila Sanglen. This was stated by Nahakpam Foundation for Development (NFD) secretary Shanta Singh Nahakpam during a media interaction.
The festival is organised with an attempt to create an integrated market for our local watermelon growers in which local growers will display more numbers of tons for sale, said Shanta.
During the festival, a free watermelon campaign in which NFD volunteers will distribute free watermelons in some areas of the Imphal to make the citizens familiar with our local products and a painting competition for children in different categories with the theme ‘Our Farmers and Farms’ will be conducted on June 13.
