Sir, my argument is why is the dipole moment of the lone pair (and the lone pair alone) poining upwards (in this case) from the central atom (Nitrogen) to the extremity of the hybridized lone pair orbital?

I was going through the chapter Chemical Bonding in one of the books and found something about orbital dipole due to lone pairs. In each diagram the orbital dipole due to lone pair was directed from the central atom to the end of the hybridized orbital (lone pair). Why is that so?
