Imphal: Ahead of the new year, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Saturday launched seven new ambitious schemes for the welfare of farmers, women, students, sportspersons, tribals besides providing livelihood to all sections of people.
The Chief Minister said that the state government would provide financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh each to every family displaced due to the "unprecedented ethnic conflict" in the state since May 3.

Singh said that the Chief Minister's Farmer's Livelihood Support Scheme is taken up to meet the identified gaps which cannot be met in the short-term by existing sources of funding and to provide coordinated, focused, flexible, quick and short-term support for agriculture-based livelihood activities.
Under the Chief Minister's Khungang Ama Sanabung Ama, one playground would be developed for each village where no playground is available.
