Indian Govt Giving Substantial Attention to Northeast Region: Niti Aayog Vice Chairperson Suman Berry – Northeast

In the midst of China’s increasingly aggressive attitude, the central government is paying enough attention to the northeastern states of India. Now other political parties are also competing with each other to establish their influence there.
This was stated by Suman Berry, Vice-Chairman of NITI Aayog in a round table program organized in New York. It was organized by the Consulate General of India in partnership with NITI Aayog on Changing India. The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum and TOI New York were also participants in the event.
The Chairman of NITI Aayog said that China’s tough stand and the Northeast region have emerged as two important issues of Indian politics today. That is why they occupy a separate place and are becoming attractive places for political parties. Berry said this in response to a question regarding Assam and the Northeast. He also gave some suggestions about how they can be better connected with the rest of India. He said that two things are particularly emerging that these areas are becoming the center of attraction for Indian politics and secondly, the government is paying enough attention to this area.
How long it will take to integrate the Northeast with the rest of India is a matter of physical distance and infrastructure. The infrastructure is being developed rapidly. India is also paying attention towards BIMSTEC in the Bay of Bengal region. This is also a large area from the point of view of integration. Hence, the Northeast in the coming days will be very different than before.
