The 1st anniversary of the Directorate of Language Planning & Implementation coincided with 18th Meitei Language Day (officially called Manipuri Language Day), the annual commemorative celebration of Meitei language's inclusion in the Eighth Schedule to the Indian Constitution.
Though Meitei Language Day (officially called Manipuri Language Day) is annually observed even before the establishment of the Directorate of Language Planning & Implementation, the Directorate is serving as one of the key organisers of the very annual event after just its inception in 2013.
