DEVELOPMENT OF RAILWAYS

MODERNIZATION OF AGRICULTURE

DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

INFLUX

PROPER UTILIZATION OF WIND AND WATER ENERGY

BORDER TRADE

VERY LOW DENSITY OF RAILWAY ROUTES IN NORTH EASTERN REGION.

PROBLEM IN TRANSPORTATION OF PERISHABLE COMMODITIES FROM ONE

REGION TO ANOTHER.

DUE TO LACK OF CONNECTIVITY TOURISM IS BADLY AFFECTED

ONLY .004% OF TOTAL EXPORT TAKES PLACE FROM THE NORTH EASTERN

REGION EVEN AFTER BEING SURROUNDED BY 5 COUNTRIES DUE TO LACK

OF TRANSPORT FACILITIES.

FOR EXPANSION OF RAILWAY

LINES IN NORTH EAST INDIA

FUNDS ARE REQUIRED IN HUGE

AMOUNT SO THE SYSTEM OF

TURNKEY PROJECTS SHOULD BE

IMPLIED SO THAT DEVELOPMENT

CAN TAKE PLACE AT A RAPID PACE

WITHOUT ANY BURDEN ON THE

INDIAN GOVERNMENT FOR TURNKEY PROJECTS SOUTH

KOREA WILL BE THE BEST OPTION

AS THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO

DEVELOP ONE OF THE BEST

RAILWAY LINES IN HILLY AREAS

ON DEVELOPMENT OF

RAILWAYS THERE WILL BE

INCREASE IN THE EXPORTS AS

IT WOULD BE EASIER EVEN

FOR NORTH EAST REGIONS

IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR

PEOPLE TO TRAVEL WHICH

CAN RESULT IN EXCHANGE OF

CULTURES AND UPBRINGING

OF THE NER REGIONS

SINCE RAILWAYS IS THE

LARGEST SECTOR WHICH

PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT TO

PEOPLE SO THIS WILL RESULT

IN MORE EMPLOYMENT

THE POOR IN NORTH EAST ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND JOBS BECAUSE

BANGLADESHI IMMIGRANTS ARE READY TO TAKE JOBS AT SUCH LOW RATES

THAT ARE NOT FEASABLE FOR THE NORTH EASTERN PEOPLE

GOVERNMENT POLICIES SUCH AS MGNREGA AND NRHM ARE BEING AVAILED BY

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND THE LOCAL PEOPLE ARE DEPRIVED OF SUCH

POLICIES

A COMMITTEE SHOULD BE SET UP IN COORDINATION WITH THE GRAM

PANCHAYATS AND MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS IN CITIES WHICH

CONDUCTS A REGULAR POPULATION CHECKS SO AS TO KEEP

ILLEGAL IMMEGRATION UNDER CHECK.

Agriculture provides livelihood to 70% of the region's population. In Mizoram, around 51% of the population

lives in rural areas and is dependent on agriculture. The

figure in Sikkim is high at 89%. However, the pattern of agricultural growth has remained uneven across

regions. The states continue to be net importers of food grains even for their own consumption.

With the emergence of globalization, economic integration among nations has become a necessity. Cross-

border trade is the most important medium of the current wave of globalization. In this process, knowingly or

unknowingly the north east economy has emerged in to a new dimension of cross-border trade (informal

trade) with neighboring nations and that increases social welfare of the poor masses of the region. Under the

“Look East” policy, India seeks economic cooperation with ASEAN and other neighboring countries through

the gateway of the region

SOLUTION ON DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE BORDER TRADE CAN BE

INCREASED AS ON INCREASE OF RAILWAYS AND IMPROVEMENT OF ROADWAYS

MANY PERISHABLE GOODS COULD BE TRANSFERRED WHICH COULD INCREASE

THE BORDER TRADE.

FROM THE ABOVE DATA IT CAN BE NOTICED THAT THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN NORTH

EAST REGIONS IS NOT DEVELOPED DUE TO WHICH EFFICIEND PRODUCTION IS NOT

CARRIED OUT.

SO FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION HVY SEEDS SHOULD BE USED.GOOD MACHINERY WITH

LATEST TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE USED.

As per the 2001 census, the annual per capita income of NER is 6,625 INR against the rest of India average

of 10,254 INR. Nearly 34.28% of the population is below poverty line as compared to the national average of

26.1%. However, the NER is a highly literate region. Except for Arunachal Pradesh, all the other states have

literacy rates about or above national average of 64.8% which provides a good pool of educated human

resources in the region.

All the eight states have different developmental prospects and resources to support their efforts in

contributing to the regional as well as national economy. A critical appraisal of the key economic indicators

along with a detailed sketch of the individual strengths of the seven states is necessary to achieve a holistic

framework to target growth in the region.

The region’s average literacy rate stands at 79.64% vs. the national average of 74.04%

according to the 2011 census.

According to the above data the people living in north eastern regions are very literate,also there is

0% juvenile crime in these states which tells that people there have a very positive aspect and have a

positive outlook towards work. So this must be utilized in the most productive and mutually

beneficial manner. This can be done by creating job opportunities there in the north eastern regions

solution

Road is an important mode of travel in the hilly areas as other mode of travel is either too expensive or

difficult. The road infrastructure is relatively deficient in the NER although the region’s road density per

capita is significantly higher as compared to the rest of the country. Given the low density of population and

the hilly terrain of the region this is an expected outcome. The road length per unit area is higher only in

Nagaland, Assam, and Tripura.

solution On improving the road infrastructure, exports as well as tourism will increase as it would be easier

to travel to north eastern regions.

On increasing industrialization the abundant natural resources can be utilized efficiently and

employment opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labour will increase in the region.

solution

The region is endowed with perennial rivers and water bodies, therefore, it has a huge hydroelectricity

potential. This potential, if tapped well, can be used to export power to other regions of the country. The spill-

over benefits will be the development of infrastructure such as roads, communications, and electricity supply

to remote hilly areas, resulting in better quality of life. States such as Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and

Meghalaya have huge potential in hydropower generation.

Institutional change supporting economic enhancement and growth at a social level requires economic

incentives, supported by political will. With India moving into a new era of economic liberation, the region

should not be left out. The framework for development of the region can be broadly based upon four vital

components. The first component of this development plan should be social empowerment. It needs to

empower rural communities, create sustainable institutions so that they manage common activities around

microfinance, livelihoods and natural resource management. The second component needs to be economic

empowerment. The objective of this component should ideally be to develop the capacity of rural

communities to plan and manage funds for various economic initiatives and common activities for the public.

The third component will be partnership development. The objective of this component should be to partner

with various service providers, resource institutions and public and private sector organizations to bring

resources such as finance, technology, and marketing into the project so that the community groups are able

to improve their livelihoods. The fourth and final component will be project management. This will facilitate

various governance, implementation, co-ordination, learning and quality enhancement efforts in the project.

Thus, with some of the changes that this presentation attempts to deliberate upon, a process could be set in

motion that could support the north east in its endeavor to contribute to the economic resurgence of the home

region as well as to the development of the rest of the country. It is vital that this process includes

mechanisms for equitably sharing the benefits to be derived from development and focuses not only on the

big-ticket items that support broad-based, long-term growth, but also on those complementary activities that

have immediate impact on poverty reduction at the community level.
