“Women of Manipur are pillars of the state's economy. They always stand in the frontline at every step.

All the Tribal communities would be accommodated and sell their products collectively”, Chief Minister stated. 

“Commodities from all parts of the state will be available and would contribute to promoting Manipur's indigenous products. Moreover, seven IMA markets have already been constructed in different districts. Another five more IMA markets in the remaining districts are in the pipeline. 

“The construction of IMA markets in every district is a major step toward empowering women. Our government is working relentlessly to continue uplifting the women of Manipur and promoting our rich culture and heritage”.
