North Easterners should appreciate that present Modi Lead BJP government has taken the steps and declaring North East India as the Hearth for development and execution of Act East Policy. We should note the realistic assessment on the developmental focus that was may be look like an exaggeration. But in real sense we can observe the evidences of developmental edges in the North East India through the basic infrastructure.
The transport sector has got attention in the hilly and non hilly states, Modi is trying to push the road Cumming Trans Highway through the midst of hilly terrains. If we see the objectively the NEC could assess development through its study- Transport
Plan for development of North Eastern Region, Feasibility Study on
comprehensive Power Transmission and Distribution in NE, Feasibility Study on
Poverty eradication in NER, Comprehensive Tourism Master Plan for NER , Health
Workforce Master Development Plan for NER, Study on Air Connectivity for NER,
and the NER Vision document 2020.
How much have been executed of these vision and missions for NE India is still a serious question. We know, that there can not have any litmus test for measuring the development. Only we find the records, but by looking the records we should not get solace. Now is the time for execution. Modiji should not get distracted that for making North East Development, its green paradigm of its local economy for international orientation can be the backbone. The strength of green and green economy must have to be capitalised by integrating any developmental plan. It the time for execution but not promise and solace.
It not that the government only can execute the visions for materialising the Act East Policy, but the public of the North East India and Institutions of North East India must come forward and support in realizing the vision and dream for development. Development mobilisation can be the priority for the present government.
