The Printing Industry: Catalyst for Growth of Manufacturing and Service Sectors in Manipur

The Printing Industry: Catalyst for Growth of Manufacturing and Service Sectors in Manipur is a comprehensive exploration of how printing serves as a backbone for Manipur’s development. Far beyond ink and paper, the printing industry supports agriculture through packaging, strengthens education with textbooks and examination materials, empowers governance with forms and registers, drives cultural revival with Meitei Mayek publications, and opens global markets through export-ready branding.

This book presents printing as both a manufacturing support system and a service industry, highlighting its role in skill development, technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and globalization. Rich in local examples and case studies, it offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, and students who wish to understand the hidden but transformative power of printing in Manipur’s economy and society.
