Abstract

Troubled by history and geo-politics, the Northeast has remained one of the most backward regions of the country.the department of the Northeastern Region entrusted the task of preparing the Vision 2020 document for the region to NIPFP. This document proposes a strategy for encompassing (inclusive) development of the region comprising of five interdependent components to meet the challenge of realising the vision which are: (i) participatory development articulated through grass-roots planning in which focus should be to develop the sectors and sub-sectors with comparative advantage; (ii) augmenting the capacity of the people to participate productively in the economic activities and creation and development of the institutions to design and implement developmental programmes as desired by the people; (iii) augmenting infrastructure, particularly connectivity and transport infrastructure to facilitate two-way movement of people and goods within the region and outside and open up markets for the produce in the region, attract private investments and create greater employment opportunities and choice for the people of the region; (iv) ensuring adequate flow of resources for public investments in infrastructure, implementing a framework for private participation in augmenting infrastructure and creating an enabling environment for the flow of investments to harness the physical resources of the region for the welfare of the people; and (v) transforming the governance by providing a secure, responsive and market friendly environment including protecting the property rights of the investors and ensuring a corruption free administration. Protecting the rights of the tribals for the use of land and forest resources is particularly important to ensure a sense of belonging and security to them.
