Manipur: population, poverty, income, health, schools and budgets

Manipur is a state of India, number 25 of 36 by population. Manipur is projected to have 3,318,000 residents on 1 July 2026, 0.2% of India's 1.4 billion; 12th smallest of 36 states and union territories. India has not counted its people since the 2011 census, so this is the official projection made from it by the Technical Group on Population Projections.
