Manipur Gets Rs 1.53 Bn Aid After 2024 Hailstorm

A High-Level Committee (HLC) chaired by Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah has approved Rs 1.53 billion in additional central assistance to Manipur, which was affected by a severe hailstorm in 2024. The financial aid will be provided through the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) and is subject to a 50 per cent adjustment from the opening balance of the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) for the year.

This assistance is part of the Government of India’s ongoing commitment under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to support state governments during natural disasters and extreme weather events.

The approved relief is in addition to earlier central releases through SDRF allocations already placed at the disposal of various states.

During the financial year 2024–25, the central government disbursed:
  • Rs 202.64 billion to 28 states under SDRF,
  • Rs 51.61 billion to 19 states under NDRF,
  • Rs 49.84 billion from the State Disaster Mitigation Fund (SDMF) to 19 states, and
  • Rs 7.20 billion from the National Disaster Mitigation Fund (NDMF) to eight states.
  • In the ongoing financial year 2025–26, the Centre has already released:
  • Rs 8.96 billion to one state under SDRF, and
  • Rs 9.30 billion under NDRF to seven states.
This structured support ensures that states have timely access to emergency funds, enabling them to manage relief efforts effectively and rebuild critical infrastructure after natural calamities.
