Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said Thursday that his government was committed to uplift all the backward districts to bring inclusive development in the northeastern state.
He made the statement while taking part in the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on Governors address Thursday, the second day of the budget session of the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly.
 
Being a state having hill and valley areas, the present government felt the need for a topographical need based budget to bring inclusive development.
The state government proposed the same to the Central government soon after it came to power, he said. As a result, the central government introduced Hill Area Development Fund (HADF) for States like Manipur, the chief minister said, according to an official release.
The Union government selected 90 backward districts including Tamenglong/Noney district to provide extra funds for development under HADF. Tamenglong/Noney district will receive Rs 90 crore additional fund for taking up various developmental works under the fund, he added.
