Manipur GSDP to show recovery, govt committed to bringing normality: Nirmala
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 19, 2025
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday in the Parliament said the central government is committed to bringing normalcy to Manipur and assured all support for the economic growth of the state.
"With improvement in law and order and consequent improvement in economic activity, I expect GSDP to show some recovery this year onwards," she said.
Sitharaman was replying to a discussion on the passage of the Manipur Budget for the current fiscal and vote of account for the six months of 2025-26 in the Rajya Sabha.
In her speech, she also sought the support of the Opposition parties for peace in Manipur instead of engaging in the "blame game".
The Finance Minister said that the violence in Manipur has adversely impacted economic activities in the state but also expressed confidence that it will recover swiftly.

Shelved Knowledge
Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia.
