In pursuit of championing the rights and concerns of India's indigenous communities, particularly those in the Northeast, along with ethnic groups, minorities, and marginalized voices, the National People's Party (NPP) was established in January 2013 by the visionary leader Late Purno Agitok Sangma.
Late Purno Agitok Sangma stands among the most distinguished figures in Indian political history. Starting his political journey from Tura in Meghalaya, he ascended to the prestigious office of Speaker of the Lok Sabha. A leader of remarkable versatility, he remained steadfast in representing his people throughout his career. For him, the people were central—they formed the foundation of his guiding principles and inspired his every action.
