In response to the ethnic violence that has gripped Manipur since May 2023, the state government has mobilised proactive initiatives aimed at providing relief and rehabilitation for the conflict-hit displaced people under the mentorship of the Supreme Court-appointed committee appointed last year in August. Officials said that these initiatives encompass a multifaceted approach targeting various aspects of livelihood and well-being in an attempt to provide tangible support.

Headed by Justice (retd) Gita Mittal, the committee inaugurated a Skill Training Programme for 2,000 displaced youths, along with a Youth Coach Level-1 certificate programme aiming to train 300 youths as coaches in multiple sports disciplines including football, table tennis, badminton, judo and weightlifting.
Additionally, a primary health centre was also operationalised in PPP mode at the Palace Auditorium in Imphal, in collaboration with the state government and Apollo Hospital Enterprise, Hyderabad, utilising telemedicine facilities. Justice Mittal emphasised that while the state administration has effectively provided facilities for displaced persons, the primary challenge remains ensuring their safe return home.
