To facilitate rapid and substantial
industrial development in the state through enhanced
investment, an investor-friendly environment, provision
for infrastructure and institutional support, attractive
incentive package and optimum utilisation of existing
resources in order to gainfully exploit emerging opportunities
in the National and International markets and generate
substantial income and employment avenues for the people
of Manipur. This will be done by providing industry
access to high quality infrastructure, extending institutional
support for technology upgradation, deregulating the

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.
