== Language planning and implementation works ==
During November 2013, in collaboration with the ''[[Central Institute of Indian Languages]] (CIIL), [[Ministry of Human Resource Development|MHRD]], [[Government of India]], [[Mysore]]'', the Department of Language Planning and Implementation organised a five-day training programme on [[Natural Language Processing]] (NLP) ''in relation to [[Meitei language]]'' in [[Lamphelpat]]. The event took up the initiatives for the provision of the very essential boost for [[Meitei language]] and for ''"building of co-opera"'' in the ''Linguistic Data Consortium of Indian Languages'' (LDCIL). Major significant tasks discussed and highlighted during the event were [[machine translation]] for [[Meitei language]] documents; [[Optical Character Recognition]] (OCR) for Meitei language [[spell checker]], [[Transcription (linguistics)|transcription]] (and [[transliteration]]) of [[Bengali script]] into [[Meitei script]] ({{
Experts and scholars of socio-linguistic groups working on [[Meitei literature]], including the ''[[Manipuri Sahitya Parishad]] (MSP), Culture Forum Manipur, KALAM, MEELAL'', etc. also participated in the event.
The training program event was the ''first step'' in forwarding the development of [[Meitei language]] by the Directorate of Language Planning and Implementation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Press |first=Imphal Free |title=DLPI takes measures for developing Manipuri – KanglaOnline |date=4 November 2013 |url=http://kanglaonline.com/2013/11/dlpi-takes-measures-for-developing-manipuri/ |access-date=2022-08-22 |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Issues and Demands ==
=== November 2020 ===
During November 2020, in response to the then education minister's statement of introducing [[Sanskrit]] as a subject in selected schools and colleges of [[Manipur]], there were strong criticism of the minister's plan from the sides of various social organizations. A spearheading social organization, "MEELAL" (Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup) demanded the [[Government of Manipur]] that there should be state language departments other than Directorate of Language Planning and Implementation (DLPI) and the concerned authorities should first work on the development and the promotion of [[Manipur]]'s indigenous languages and [[Meetei Mayek]] writing system before promoting other languages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Education Minister's statement on introduction of Sanskrit in select schools, colleges draws flak : 22nd nov20 ~ E-Pao! Headlines |url=
=== January 2022 ===
During January 2022, in a meeting with the Wakhallon Mannaba Apunba (WAMA), [[Leishemba Sanajaoba]] expressed that he was extremely unsatisfied with the negligence of the [[Department of Language Planning and Implementation]] in the documentation works for inclusion of [[Meitei language]] among the classical languages. The WAMA expressed that such negligence of the Language Department will make the efforts of Sanajaoba, of raising his voice in the [[Rajya Sabha]], useless. The WAMA demanded the [[Government of Manipur]] for the change of the present director of [[Department of Language Planning and Implementation]]. According to the WAMA, Chitra, the present director, is unfit to hold the very directorial position because of her neglecting and irresponsible behaviours.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Government must take concrete step for recognition of Manipuri as classical language |url=https://www.ifp.co.in/manipur/government-must-take-concrete-step-for-recognition-of-manipuri-as-classical-language |access-date=2022-08-25 |website=Imphal Free Press |language=en}}</ref>
