Manipur
- Investment and Industrial
Policies
Draft
of the "Manipur Tourism Policy 2011 New
In
a modern, globalized and borderless world, tourism has emerged
as a major export industry which not only contributes to
the shape of the economy but also determines the image of
the land and people. The travel and tourism sector is the
world?s largest service sector industry and creates more
jobs per million rupees of investment than any other sector
of the economy. Tourism is no longer an appendix in modern
government planning but rather a necessity to create employment
opportunities, generate income & revenue and drive the
inclusive growth of the economy. Several States and Nations
all over the globe have transformed their economies harnessing
their tourism potential.
Information
Technology Policy 2003
Information Technology (IT) offers a
new opportunity for economic growth, employment and knowledge
based development for Manipur. The State has remained economically
and industrially backward primarily due to its remote location
and geographic disadvantage. Information Technology can
overcome geographic disadvantages provided reliable and
necessary telecommunication infrastructure along with power
supply are in place. The State Government recognises that
IT has the potential for bringing about significant progress
in the socio-economic development of Manipur, for which
the State Government has to evolve a dynamic and coordinated
IT policy.

Industrial and Investment Policy 2011
New
After the attainment of statehood in
1972, the State Government announced the following Industrial
Policy, namely 1982, 1989, 1990 and 1996. The earlier Industrial

The State has not witnessed the desired level of achievement
on industrial activity as envisages in the Policy.

environment, institutional support, credit flow, attractive
