Roadmap to Resettle Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)

The Government of Manipur, from time to time, has been apprising the people of Manipur regarding the progress of resettlement of IDPs in the State. As stated in earlier communications, a State Level Committee under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Government of Manipur and with Commissioner – Home Department, Director General of Police, and other senior officials of the Government as members, has been formed to monitor the rehabilitation process in the State. Similarly, District level committees are formed under the District Magistrates. These committees are meeting regularly and conducting rigorous reviews of the rehabilitation process.

2. The primary aim of the Government is to gradually and securely rehabilitate IDPs, restore stable living conditions, and enable resumption of livelihoods, education and normal community life. The Government's vision extends beyond mere relocation of IDPs from camps to their homes, rather a holistic transition out of Relief Camps with focus on livelihood, education and overall wellness of the IDPs.

3. By December 2025, more than 2,200 families consisting of about 10,000 IDPs had been resettled. To further this momentum, approximately 7,000 houses have been sanctioned under the Special PMAY-G (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin) for the reconstruction of fully damaged houses and these units are currently in various stages of completion.

4. The Government has so far released about ₹ 124.00 Crore for the resettlement of IDPs at various locations. As on today, 2026 about 3,700 families consisting of about 16,500 IDPs have been successfully resettled.

5. The Government aims to resettle more than 10,000 displaced IDP families consisting of more than 40,000 IDPs by 31st March, 2026.

6. The Government remains committed to ensure timely and safe rehabilitation of all displaced persons at the earliest.
