About the Department

The origin of the Education Department of Manipur dates back to 1903 when Rev. Pattigrew, an educationist and a philanthropist, became the first honorary inspector of schools under the Education Department of Assam.

Prior to 1950, there was no separate Department of Education in Manipur. A separate Department of Education was created for the first time in Manipur on the 20th of January 1950, with Shri T. Kipgen as Asst. Secretary to the Government of Manipur.
