Approximately 3 million jobs will be created if
implemented properly.
It will boost to other sector as it will impart a
sound knowledge base to the working force
hence strengthening the current working force.
It will not only indirectly boost the production
volume of this region but in doing so will be a
great impetus to the export-trade of this region

Funding
from
NGOs • At the top there is a state level governing body having expert panels
on HRD with nodal centers in every district.
• The district collector should overlook the working of every blocks
under the BDO.
• The BDO should have the authority to appoint nodal officers who
will be in charge of organising the training programmes for the
young enthusiasts called “Jan Sahayaks”.
• Jan Sahayaks will have direct interaction with the local villagers.
The main duty of the nodal officer is:
• To train the Gram Sahayaks in various aspects.
• Assess their performance and progress and in turn decide their incentives .
• Promote them to the post of sub-nodal officer.
The main duty of the Jan Sahayaks is:
• To organize weekly camps for the locals .
• Provide them entrepreneurial training about various small scale industries.
• These Sahayaks would act like a bridge between the nodal officers and the beneficiaries .

5. Financial support can be
provided to the people of
these areas by setting up
of :
cooperative banks,
chit fund systems,
and self -help
groups(SHGs).
1) NGOs can play a major role
in funding the nodal officers
for carrying out various camps
viaThe Jan Sahayaks.
2) It will be more effective if
the state government
encourage youths(generally
college students ) to form
NGOs
1)Women should be involved
in such local bodies
organizaton so that they are
not left behind.
2)They should be motivated
by other active women
groups.
3)Their potential should be
brought to limelight and they
should be made self
sufficient.
It will be the duty of the
administrative body to
popularize “Indian Institute
of
Entrepreneurship”(under
MSME) among the
population.
The training for the “Jan
Sahayaks” can be provided in
the following areas of small
scale industries:
• Pisciculture
• Apiculture
• Animal husbandry
• Woodcraft
• Bakery
• Homemade herbal products
• Fruits,jams and jellies
• Paper bags,cups and
saucers
• Textile materials
FUNDING:
1) Loans from MSME can be
taken through district
collector on
recommendation of the
nodal officers.
2)They can take low interest
loans from cooperative
societies and Gramya banks.
3) Eventual incorporation of
NGOs will extract external
funds.
Best utilization of hidden natural resources.
Promoting entrepreneurship, creating jobs for less educated and unemployed and thus improving
the living standards.
Development of small scale industries in an organized way.
Women empowerment.

Review practically defunct

Implement schemes like
ASIDE for export/import
growth in true spirit.
Carry out SAFTA, BIMSTEC, Indo-
ASEAN initiatives in a healthy balance
with domestic schemes (so as not to
deter the growth and expansion of
the domestic market) as steps for
realizing the Look East Policy.

Suggestions

7. Accommodate private
participation/investment in schemes
of NEDFi, NERAMAC etc.
Relaxation of interest rates and
provide interest free loans to the
needs associated with the above-
mentioned by the Government of
India.
Establish trade centers in each major
town (like the Maniram DewanTrade
Center,Guwahati) and local centers
of trade in other areas with potential
industry, to work in coordination with
the above-mentioned.
Review the existing
ailing PSUs.
Initiate PPP mode of
operation for the same.
Reopen/initiate trade routes like
Stillwell road, Karimganj-Sylhet-
Dhaka road, routes connecting with
Trans-Asian Highways and
Railways. Identify and use potential
waterways and ports (especially in
Bangladesh and Myanmar).
Set up more Land Custom Stations
and effectively manage the existing
ones. Encourage the same for the
neighboring countries too.
Organize routine trade and industrial
delegations from South-East Asia all
over NER.
Set up banking infrastructure for
facilitating activities of national and
international trading bodies
Generation of interest in potential trading
bodies to initiate or expand activities in NER.
The SSI in rural areas of the region will get a
boost both financially and morally.
Efficient and profit making PPP mode instead of
the ailing PSUs will develop the region and also
generate healthy revenues.
Inter-country trade will boost the economies of
the nations involved and this in turn will
contribute to the ease of political tensions, if
any.
Global exposure to the raw potential – industrial
and cultural.

Solutions
Strategies &Ways
1.Subsidy to production of Cash Crops using Ruza system, Cheo-ozihi and Bamboo Drip
Irrigation.
2.There is also a rich variety of medicinal plants which are grown in North-Eastern India such as
Paclitaxel is a mitotic inhibitor used in Cancer Chemotherapy (lung, ovarian, breast, head and
neck cancer).Paclitaxel is extracted from the stem bark ofTaxus brevifolia. Government should
advertise, create domestic and international market and proper technological assistance for
extraction of medicines from such plants.
3. Rain Water Harvesting as a viable alternative to conventional water supply or on-farm
irrigation projects.
4.Horticulture and Floriculture sectors from household activity to commercial ventures ,with
an eye on the demand in the markets of Japan ,WestAsia ,Singapore ,EU countries.
5. Facilitate establishment of Greenhouses for independent farmers; also provide other added
incentives like low cost farming equipment .
6. Initiatives like distribution of seeds and other incentives should be implemented (like the
distribution of seeds exported from Holland during the 8th and 9th five year plan).

Suggestions
• DevelopTourism infrastructure –
transport, communication, power
• Set up model villages, facilitate access
to conserved wildlife or other natural
sanctuaries of NER
• Settle ethnic disputes, curb military and
militant problems
• Financial help to local tourism
initiatives – both private and public
• Involve locals in promotingTourism, as
a step of trust-building in them towards
outsiders
Impacts
• Revenue generation will sky-rocket,
NER being a tourist hotspot
• Large scale employment
• Infrastructure developed forTourism
will make NER easily accessible to
outsiders as well as benefit trade and
industry
• Exposure of potential local industries

• Implementation of the 50000 MW hydro
initiative of the Hydro Policy 2008.
• Participation of private players in harnessing the
hydro electric potential is to be encouraged by
both the State and Central governments.
• Power generation in the desired scale can enable
export of power to foreign countries as well as
mainland India.
• Assistance to local population in understanding
the benefits and thus curbing resistance by
unaware and misinformed mass.
Other
• Solar Power – solar power generation stations
can be established in remote areas. Simple solar
power harnessing devices can be distributed in
reduced costs to the rural population.
• Huge reserves of non-renewable energy sources
(coal, hydrocarbons etc) can be exploited for self
sufficiency and exports.
