Prof. Anand Konjengbam, Department of CSE, announced the launch of 'Eyongkart,' an e-commerce platform designed to support Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Manipur. Speaking at the event held at Koubru Hall, Manipur Press Club, he highlighted that over 60,000 IDPs are currently in relief camps, striving to sustain their livelihoods through handloom, handicraft, and other products.
Developed collaboratively by Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad, National Institute of Technology Manipur and Manipur Technical University, Eyongkart aims to address the marketing challenges faced by IDPs by providing an online platform to sell their goods. Prof. Anand appealed to the public to support this initiative, which also seeks to promote local products and empower displaced communities through sustainable economic opportunities.
