Who We Are

A short story about us

The World Meetei Council was formally formed on 28th February 2021, during the Guwahati Plenary Session with its Constitution unanimously approved by global and regional delegates, in response to the growing need for a global platform representing Meetei interests. This marked the beginning of a formal, unified movement to safeguard Meetei identity, rights, and development to eradicate the lack of economic opportunity for Meeteis living both in India and abroad.

Why WMC Matters Today?

The challenges facing the Meetei community today—cultural dilution, demographic pressure, political misrepresentation, and loss of language—require a unified, empowered, and globally connected movement. The World Meetei Council offers this very platform, built on inclusivity, knowledge, and resilience.

We invite every Meetei, whether in India or abroad, to become a part of this mission for cultural pride, constitutional rights, and collective progress.
