Dhanamanjuri University is a long cherished dream of our founding fathers and Maharani Dhanamanjuri, the mother spirit in the birth of this seat of learning, translated into action. Manipur, an ancient Kingdom, had a composite traditional system of education in the field of warfare, martial arts, games and sports, culture and many other schools of thought training the people in various professional activities in ancient forms. The people have carried down this legacy of quest for knowledge and civilized existence since time immemorial. Ancient works of knowledge in the original scripts of Manipur stand as testimony to the nurturing of the idea of a University in the minds of our forefathers and foremothers. The state has celebrated the tradition of a purely intellectual pursuit which conserves the original ethos of the land and its people while receptive with an open mind to change in course of time.
