Special thrust would be given to rural health care institutions to provide the state with efficient and effective primary health
care.
Efforts would be made to reduce infrastructure gaps, as far as practical.
Emphasis would also be given to consolidating and strengthening the existing infrastructure.
Special thrust would be given to constructing and equipping sub-centres, primary health centres and community health

Priority would also be given to constructing hospital buildings and strengthening them with equipment and other facilities.
As PHSCs, PHCs and CHCs have been covered under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), special attention would
be given to constructing and equipping hospitals.
Decentralised planning would also be encouraged to involve the district health authorities and panchayat bodies in planning,
implementing and monitoring district schemes to strengthen district health administration.

The food processing industry is a major thrust sector of Manipur. The state’s agro climatic conditions are most suited for
food processing industry.
Favoured by agro-climatic conditions, Manipur produces a variety of fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses, spices, etc. suitable
for processing and with potential for export. The food processing sector plays a significant role in diversification and
commercialisation of agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, poultry, animal husbandry and forest resources.
Prospective mobilisation of this sector is mainly concerned with the raw material resources and its potential for future
expansion, improvement of infrastructure, investment ability and up-gradation of technology.
Magfruit, Ratna, Sana, Manifru, Likla, Kangla Foods, Heirang, Chandani and Waifruit are some of the locally popular brand
names in this industry.
Freshly packed pineapple and passion fruit, pulp, juice, toffee concentrate, lemon and orange juice, ginger oil, ginger lime,
mushrooms and fresh in brine or canned dry bamboo shoots, are some of the well known products of Manipur.
Schemes like Technology Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture with the objective of improving production and
productivity of horticultural crops by harnessing the potential of the region make this field a viable option for
commercialisation as well as marketing.
During 2007-2017, the total number of projects sanctioned for the establishment and endorsement of food processing
industries under various schemes are mentioned below:
Under Integrated Cold Chain, Value Addition & Preservation Infrastructure Scheme as well as Food Testing
Laboratory Scheme, 1 project each was sanctioned.

Manipur has a hydro power potential of about 2,000 MW, which is sufficient not only to meet the local requirement for
domestic and industrial uses but to also generate a surplus for marketing outside. Thus, the state government has chosen
this sector as a thrust area for development. During June 2016, the total hydro power capacity recorded by the state was
80.98 MW.
The Loktak Hydro Electric Project (3x35 MW) commissioned in 1984 is Manipur’s main source of power.
The government sees hydropower as a major industry and has given top-priority consideration to developing the state's
hydropower potential. In view of this goal, it has decided to invite private investors in the hydropower generation industry.
Currently, the state’s power department has identified several local hydropower project sites:
Pabram HE Project: A storage scheme that aims to utilise the inflow of Barak River. It is located near Tamenglong
Khunjao in Tamenglong District, Manipur.
Irang HE Project: A storage scheme located near Taobam village on NH-53 in Tamenglong District.
Tuivai HE Project: A storage scheme located near Dailkhai village in Thanlon Sub-division of Churachandpur
District.
Nungleiband HE Project: A run-of-the-river scheme that aims to utilise the tail race discharge from the existing
Loktak HE Project and the inflow of the Leimatak River. It is proposed to be taken up near Nungleiband village in
Tamenglong District.
Khongnem Chakha Project: It is located near Maram Centre in Senapati District, Manipur.
Other projects include Tipiamukh HE Project located near Manipur-Mizoram border, Maklang-Tuyungbi HE Project located
near Khonglo village under Kasom Khullen sub-division of Ukhrul district.
