Manipur ranks #27 nationally in the SKOCH State of Governance Report 2025. Although 2025 results place the state towards the lower end of the national table, the broader picture reveals engagement and selective sectoral strength. The state performed very strongly in two categories, e-Governance and District Governance. Five projects from the state qualified as well-performing this year.
First-Time Entry in e-Governance
One of the defining features of Manipur’s 2025 participation is its first-time entry into the e-Governance category.
Entering a new category marks an administrative shift. E-Governance requires structured digital platforms, measurable service delivery frameworks and transparent reporting systems. Participation in this domain indicates that digital integration is becoming a more visible part of the state’s administrative agenda.
We are committed to building a stronger, inclusive and progressive state through equitable and inclusive development for every citizen. By fostering mutual respect, we aim to strengthen social harmony and ensure growth and welfare for all
N Biren Singh Chief Minister, Manipur
In national benchmarking, debut participation often lays the groundwork for future competitive positioning. The performance in two categories demonstrates targeted administrative engagement. In competitive frameworks where larger states submit dozens of initiatives, smaller or resource-constrained states often concentrate efforts within specific departments. Manipur’s profile this year reflects such focused participation.

The 2025 results show that the participation has become active. What remains significant is whether systems continue to align with benchmarking standards. Manipur remains present on the national platform, navigating challenges, expanding into digital domains and sustaining selective sectoral performance.
