About Us
THE BEGINNING
In the last few decades, the rapid urbanisation and modern developments were taking heavy toll on the environment and health of the people, mostly on habits of the younger generation. There had been rapid changes in lifestyle from a physically very active farming community to that of an urbanised physically inactive lifestyle. Many health issues cropped up. The unchecked and unplanned urbanisation resulted into rapid degradation of the environment. A need was felt for a mass movement to spread awareness amongst people for a healthy lifestyle based on traditional values and maintenance of a clean sustainable environment. Efforts were made to win away the younger generation from socially unproductive unwanted habits by providing them a platform to focus on socially useful healthy activities.
Around 2012-13, few pioneers started with participation in traditional Lai Haraoba Lemjels (runs) despite initial adverse criticisms.
The results were encouraging and within few years, 28 runners including 3 ladies volunteered for Ibudhou Khamlangba Lamjel on 19 May 2016. It was then decided to organise it into a formal organisation and thus on this day, KAKCHING RUNNING GROUP came into existence. The name was later amended to KAKCHING RUNNERS.
