The organization was modelled after the [[Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha]].

The NMM was originally known as the ''Nikhil Manipuri Hindu Mahasabha''. It was founded under the patronage of [[Maharaja Churachand]] Singh who was the president of the organization. All works were carried out by [[Hijam Irabot]] who was the vice-president.

This session was held at Chinga in Manipur. [[Maharaja Churachand]] did not attend the session. Irabot changed the name of the sabha by dropping the ''Hindu'' off the original name. He also changed it into a political party.
