Chief Minister N Biren Singh handed over a loan amount of Rs 50,000 under Manipur State Co-operative Bank (MSCB) Ltd. to a 21-year-old differently-abled girl, at Chief Minister’s Secretariat in Imphal on Monday.
She hails from interior Toitung village of Chandel district. The girl namely, Km Hoineithem Haokip has expertise in making handmade flowers and bamboo stools.
