Reiterating the state government’s commitment to the farming community, the Chief Minister said empowering farmers and building a resilient, self-reliant agrarian economy would remain a key priority for Manipur. He directed officials to take coordinated steps to support farmers and accelerate the adoption of integrated and sustainable farming practices across the state.
