  1. Phayeng is a small village in Imphal District of Manipur, one of the 29 Indian States of Manipur. It is located at a distance of 13 kms. from Imphal City via Iroishemba, Lamsang, Heibongpokpi and Lairenkabi.

    Most of the people of Phayeng to Lois/ Chakpa SC Community. People of this village are very simple and hardworking.

    The Village is surrounded by beautiful scenery including a Green Stretch of forests on the western side of the village.

    However, development activities/civic facilities of the village have been neglected by various successive Manipur Governments.

    There are 3 (Three) LP Schools, 1 M.E.School, 1 J.B. School, 4 High Schools including one Don Bosco School.

    Main occupation of the villagers are agriculture. However, many women folks are engaged in distilling of Country-made liqours (from rice). Distilling of wine has been the traditional occupation of the village women folks. Wine has also been associated with various religious activities.
