Manipur: Cabinet approves recruitment of 764 employees

Imphal, Nov 13 (UNI) The Manipur Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, today approved recruitment of 764 staff for the State Rural Livelihoods Mission: 637 contractual and 127 casual posts, covering 708 posts cleared in 2021 plus 56 vacancies.
The National Mission Management Unit of the Ministry of Rural Development will select the contractual staff, while Deputy Commissioners will engage casual staff locally, easing shortages in districts. This strengthens programmes helping rural women form Self Help Groups and become “Lakhpati Didis” across all 70 blocks. Examinations will be held at accessible locations. The annual salary cost of Rs ₹25.74 crore is shared 90:10 between Centre and State.
The State Cabinet also adopted the Manipur Motor Vehicles Aggregator Rules 2026 to regulate app-based taxi and ride services such as Uber, Ola and Rapido. Many cabs presently run without departmental approval. Aggregators will now need licences and must ensure driver verification, vehicle fitness and passenger safety. Fares will be regulated and transparent, protecting commuters from arbitrary charges. Drivers working with aggregators will receive health insurance of ₹1 lakh and term insurance of ₹3 lakh. Licence fees and deposits are set well below central guidelines, encouraging services to come to Manipur, widening commuter choice, and bringing revenue to the State.
