Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh inaugurated the Northeast's first AI-enabled Career Intelligence Hub at Tamphasana Girls' Higher Secondary School in Imphal on Saturday, according to reports by NENow and The New Indian Express.
The hub was established using funds from the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) to provide students with digital career guidance, personalised counselling, and information regarding new employment opportunities.

During the event, Singh also opened the 32nd National Children's Science Congress, which is being held under the theme 'Understanding Ecosystem for Health and Well-being.' The programme is organised by the Manipur Upliftment Centre and Samagra Shiksha Manipur under the Union Ministry of Science and Technology.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister praised students for showing restraint and avoiding agitations during regional disruptions over the last seven to eight months. He urged the public and students to use peaceful dialogue and diplomatic engagement instead of street protests to achieve lasting peace in Manipur.
