The Start Up Manipur Outreach Programme was launched today at YPA Hall, Hiangtam Lamka by Devesh Deval, IAS, Commissioner (Planning/PHED/Tourism), Government of Manipur under the initiative of District Administration, Churachandpur.
Addressing the programme, Devesh Deval mentioned that Start Up means “we have to encourage entrepreneurship and encourage people who want to do business instead of just looking for a job somewhere.”  
He asserted that the main objective of the programme is to build a strong ecosystem for nurturing innovation that will drive sustainable economic growth and generate large scale employment opportunities.
The focus at the National and State level is to promote entrepreneurship so that people would make a better life for themselves and their families and also contribute to the country's economy, said the Commissioner.
The Commissioner clearly outlined the stages of the State’s Start-up scheme saying it was classified into-Idea Stage, ESS Stage, Revenue Stage, and the Stand-Up stage. It therefore is a scheme viable for people who have a clear-cut dream or vision, those stuck midway with the vision or those who have started in their own way but could not expand as anticipated due to financial limitations.
Pawan Yadav, IAS, DC Churachandpur stated that Start Up Manipur Outreach Programme Scheme will be crucial as this will boost the economy and definitely help the talented young people of Churachandpur in achieving various milestones.
Stalls were opened by NERCOMP, SBI, District DIC, District Horticulture, District Agriculture and District Veterinary Churachandpur.
