Manipur seems to be making a habit of excellence. The state has emerged as the most improved small state in the country for the second successive year. Since 2018, when new parameters were added, it has improved its performance in seven out of 12 categories—economy, infrastructure, agriculture, health, governance, entrepreneurship and cleanliness. And while it has topped the list of small states that have improved the most in agriculture, it is among the top three most improved small states in eight other categories.
