        abstract = {This is an article to understand the prospects and challenges of the agriculture dependent state of Manipur. The state is small topographically, population and economically weak and backward despite having huge potential with very rich natural resources, ethnic diversities, and prospects of international trade.  The prospects of the state have not been tapped and realized due to various factors which have taken the state economy for a spin and is currently struggling in a vicious cycle of ethnic violence.  The current narrative of the state seems to have painted a very grim scenario of the state and therefore it is the endeavor of this paper to highlight the economic prospects of the state amid all the challenges.  Surely with sincere and concerted effort it is possible to take the economy of the state in the path of growth and development.},
