Manipur
One of India’s isolated northeastern states, Manipur shares a long and rugged border with Myanmar and is a key location for India’s plans to improve connectivity to southeast Asia. Until connectivity improves, Manipur will remain something of a dead end for trade and will likely be unable to overcome the bifurcation of its current politics, split between tribal groups inhabiting its hills and those in its central valley.

Health
While India’s healthcare system is expansive in terms of the number of beneficiaries covered, inequalities in access to high-quality yet affordable care continue to plague delivery systems and push citizens towards the more unregulated private sector. Similarly, while India’s National Health Policy of 2017 promises to reform this system, the responsibility to institute those reforms falls to the states who each have their own unique challenges and opportunities to meet the healthcare needs of their people.
