Most families in and around Manipur mix small-scale farming with livestock, local trade and seasonal wage work. Since July 2026, VB-G RAM G (which replaced MGNREGA) guarantees each household at least 125 days of work a year on village works such as ponds, roads and plantations. The gram panchayat issues the job cards, and wages go straight into bank or post office accounts.
Administration
Manipur Gram Panchayat is run by an elected Gram Pradhan (village head), an Up-Pradhan and ward members. Every adult voter in the panchayat’s villages is a member of the Gram Sabha. The Panchayat Secretary (Gram Panchayat Adhikari), posted by Mariyahu block, keeps the day-to-day records and registers births and deaths.
Every gram panchayat in Uttar Pradesh has to form 6 committees: Planning and Development Committee (chaired by the Pradhan), Education Committee, Construction Works Committee, Health and Welfare Committee, Administrative Committee and Water Management Committee. The Gram Sabha has to meet at least twice a year (after the Kharif and Rabi harvests). It goes over the accounts and approves the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP), which is then uploaded on eGramSwaraj. Any voter of the village can attend and ask questions.

How Manipur scores on the Panchayat Advancement Index
The Ministry of Panchayati Raj's Panchayat Advancement Index (PAI 2.0) gives every gram panchayat a score from 0 to 100 on nine themes of the Localised Sustainable Development Goals. It uses about 150 indicators that panchayats report and block and district officials check.
- PAI score
- 50.2/1002023-24ReportedPanchayat Advancement Index (PAI 2.0)
In the Panchayat Advancement Index 2023-24, Manipur scored 50.2 out of 100, ranking 91st of 99 panchayats in Mariyahu block (slightly behind the block average of 54.1). 2023-24ReportedPanchayat Advancement Index (PAI 2.0)
That puts it in the "Aspirant" band (Achiever 90+, Front Runner 75–90, Performer 60–75, Aspirant 40–60, Beginner below 40).
Scores on the nine development themes
Manipur does best on “Healthy panchayat” (79.2) and worst on “Women-friendly panchayat” (23.0). That 56-point gap shows where the next Gram Panchayat Development Plan could focus. 4 of the nine theme scores are above the Mariyahu block average. 2023-24ReportedPanchayat Advancement Index (PAI 2.0)
