Manipur is home to six autonomous district councils, each playing a crucial role in local governance and administration. These councils were established to provide a degree of self-governance to the tribal communities in the state, enabling them to manage their affairs more effectively. The councils are located in different regions of Manipur, including Churachandpur, Senapati, Tamenglong, Ukhrul, Chandel, and Kangpokpi. Each district council has the authority to legislate on specific matters, such as land use and local customs, thereby ensuring that the unique cultural and social needs of the tribal populations are addressed within the broader framework of the state government.
