In response to the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur, the State Government has swiftly mobilized proactive initiatives aimed at providing relief and rehabilitation for internally displaced individuals. One such initiative is the comprehensive skill training programme in the hospitality sector. This initiative, undertaken in collaboration with the Capacity Building for Service Provider through Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council, aims to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for the youth affected by the conflict. By partnering with Primer Kalling Pvt Ltd as the training provider, the government ensures that 2000 internally displaced youth will benefit from this initiative.
In addition to economic empowerment, the government is also prioritizing the restoration of essential healthcare services for affected communities. Through a strategic collaboration with Apollo Hospital Enterprise Limited, efforts are underway to swiftly resume operations at Borobeka Primary Health Centre. This initiative underscores the unwavering commitment of the State Government to prioritize the health and well-being of all citizens, even in the face of adversity.
Recognizing the importance of sports in fostering resilience and community cohesion, the government is launching a unique certification program aimed at empowering grassroots athletes to become coaches. With a focus on disciplines such as football, table tennis, badminton, judo, and weightlifting, this program will provide specialized training to 300 trainees recruited from across the state. Partnering with TENVIC Sports, the government aims to equip grassroots athletes with the necessary skills and knowledge to become coaches, thereby promoting sports development and creating avenues for positive engagement and personal growth within communities.
Furthermore, in a bid to harness the state’s rich resources and create job opportunities, the government is collaborating with Hindu College, Delhi University, Ultra International Ltd, and CSIR CIMAP Lucknow to launch a training program in fragrance formulations for wellness products. By leveraging Manipur’s abundance of herbs and medicinal plants, this initiative aims to establish Manipur as a center for the Perfumery industry in the Northeast region, thereby enhancing economic prospects and fostering regional development.
These proactive initiatives underscore the government’s commitment to not only addressing immediate challenges but also to fostering long-term solutions for the betterment of society. Through targeted interventions in areas such as skill training, healthcare, sports, and industry development, the State Government of Manipur is striving to alleviate the suffering caused by the recent conflict and pave the way for a brighter and more resilient future for all its citizens.
