The primary task of AMUCO is to consolidate all the ethnic groups and build a united Manipur. He said that his first priority as AMUCO president would be making up the trust deficit that exists among different communities of the State. Together with civil society organisations which are working together with AMUCO, it would talk face to face with all ethnic communities one after another. AMUCO would also pay special focus on nurturing a healthy work culture so as to make Manipur self reliant economically. Protection of environment and ecology, and human resource development are some other agenda of AMUCO, Deban said. He then urged the Manipur University authority to bring a solution to the reservation imbroglio within the next two/ three days.
