The Manipur Public Records Act, 2000 establishes a comprehensive legal framework for managing, preserving, and protecting public records across government departments, state-controlled corporations, statutory bodies, and commissions in Manipur. It empowers the state government and the Director of Archives to supervise record administration, lay down standards, and maintain official archives. The law obligates government agencies to appoint records officers responsible for safeguarding records against unauthorized removal or destruction, imposing penalties for non-compliance. By regulating record disposal and allowing public access to unclassified historical documents after thirty years, the Act ensures transparency, preserves historical heritage, and supports research.
