Manipur’s displaced look to the future despite painful memories

The outbreak of ethnic violence on May 3, 2023, and the enduring tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities have left deep scars on Manipur — crippling its economy, tearing at its social fabric, and unsettling its political stability. Over the past two years, restrictions on the free movement of people and goods, the displacement of thousands of families from both communities, and the widespread damage to businesses, agriculture, and other socio-economic activities have taken their toll. The most profound impact has been on the youth, many of whom have lost access to academic and professional education, leaving dreams and ambitions in limbo. Academic experts stress the urgent need to channel the energies of the young into constructive paths — through skill development, vocational training, and opportunities that reignite hope. Equally vital is the empowerment of women, encouraging self-reliance and entrepreneurship to rebuild not just livelihoods, but the spirit of resilience in Manipur. A large number of displaced families from both the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities continue to live in makeshift camps, far from the homes they once knew. The government has announced plans to resettle around 57,000 internally displaced people by the end of this year, offering financial assistance of Rs. 3 lakh to each family whose house was destroyed during the violence—enabling them to rebuild wherever they choose. Yet, for many still taking refuge in these temporary shelters, the haunting memories of the violent clashes remain fresh. Children have borne the brunt of the violence, with thousands losing access to education. In response, several organizations have established community schools to help displaced children return to mainstream education and move closer to a normal life, despite the challenges. With sustained government support, community initiatives, and collective will, there remains hope that displaced families can rebuild their lives, reclaim their homes, and restore peace and stability to the state. #manipur #imphal #Churachandpur Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks:    / @aninewsindia   Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
