The MIU plans to establish campuses in different parts of the State, he added.
The Minister said that although there are already two universities - Manipur University and Dhanamanjuri Cluster University, many students drop out from pursuing further studies because of financial and family constraints.
The Minister said that he is hopeful that the establishment of the MIU and its campuses will help in engaging the young minds in skill training, inculcating innovative and new ideas.
Students need to be encouraged to take up applied research to find solutions to numerous problems.
He also opined that a large amount of money are drained out from the State as many people pursue facilities outside the State when it comes to the health and education sector.
The need of the hour is to put more focus on qualitative improvement in the education and health sector, he added.
