IMA Nongthangleima Yaipha Tengbang Scheme

The "Ima Nongthangleima Yaipha Tengbang Scheme" was launched by the Social Welfare Department, Government of Manipur. This scheme aims to enable women to be the author of their destiny and that of the nation. A life cycle continuum approach has to be adopted that creates an ecosystem that addresses inherent biases and role-plays, protects and upholds the rights and dignity of women, and finally empowers them by providing them with financial assistance and resources to foster economic independence and contributing to the overall well-being of the individual. Objective of the Scheme: The primary objective of the scheme is to provide support to approximately 4,00,000 women in Manipur who are above the age of 40 years. The scheme aims to empower these women by offering crucial financial assistance, thereby aiding them in pursuing diverse livelihood options.
