A Hmar village in Southwest Manipur established around 1850 by the great Bulhmang and his tribesmen. A village that established the first high school in the entire hill districts of Manipur in 1951 and produced a number of high government and non-government dignitaries in its heydays. An important centre of education for the Hmar and its kindred tribes. A new state government district headquarters from 2016.

SINLUNG ACADEMY OF LETTERS
