Developmental issues of the North-Eastern States of India cannot be studied inisolation without accounting for the varied politico-socio-economic and institutional factors. This study covers a wide range of the socio-political issues and developmental gaps in the North-Eastern Region (NER) of India. It presents a broader picture and gives an understanding of the issues of governance and development prevailing in this region. Many issues pertain to paucity of developmental outcomes, ethnicity, demand for statehood, insurgency, absence of rule of law, corruption and so on, suggesting state’s ineffectiveness and people’s incompetence to take development to the front stage. An effort has also been made to trace the literature that deals with these issues.

Econometric Approach

An understanding the linkage between human development and poverty in general and economic development in particular is very imperative in emerging economies in the globe. The objective of this paper is to study the regional variation and causality between human development and poverty in the north-east India. The major finding of this paper is that there exists significant regional variation between human development and poverty in the north eastern states of India. While human development is substantially high in Mizoram and Manipur, it is low in other states. On the contrary, poverty is very low in Mizoram and Manipur, while it is considerably high in other states. The estimated results confirmed that human development (and its individual indicators) has a significant role to alleviate poverty in the north east India.

Primary Means

Land is collectively owned and governed by the community among the Scheduled Tribe (ST) in the north-eastern region. As a result, households without land were less prominent among the ST households, than all-social groups, particularly in the ST-population-dominated states. Private land ownership has also evolved in recent times. Land is the basic resources and agriculture, especially shifting cultivation, is the primary means of livelihood for majority of them. ST households mostly cultivated a small and medium size of land rendering to a subsistence economy. Recently, a gradual relinquish from the dependence of agriculture for employment and livelihood is evident. Concurrently, agricultural income has significantly declined. Ironically, the region continues to produce inadequate food grains production that is insufficient to cater the rapidly growing population. Economy of STs revolves around a subsistence agricultural economy. Nevertheless, ST means of livelihood has converged towards diversified modern market-oriented employment and economy.

Unique Identity

North East India, popularly Known as Seven Sister States, comprising Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland , Tripura and recently including Sikkim can earned a diverse and unique identity within and outside the nation. The Siliguri corridor, which connects mainland India with the rest of the North Eastern states, is regarded as the Mongoloid Fringe, from where the land of the Mongoloid races starts. This uncommon area of nations with natural boutiques attracts the migrants from all over the world leading different problems on local people. This paper mainly tries to examine the pattern of migration of North Eastern region by considering impacts of migration on the migrated region.

This study is analysis of changes in rainfall fluctuation in North East India. Using the longest instrumental monthly rainfall data of well spread 316 stations across India available from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), the fluctuation characteristics as well as the spatial-temporal variability of the seasonal, monsoon monthly and annual rainfall pattern over the north eastern region of India (NER) have been examined. On an average, NER receives about 2450 mm of rainfall with 1093.0 mm as its annual evapo transpiration. The winter (JF) rainfall contributes 2.1% to the annual rainfall; summer (MAM) rainfall 24.3%; summer monsoon (JJAS) rainfall 65.1% and the post-monsoon (OND) rainfall contributes 8.5% to the annual rainfall. The region shows great variation in surface temperature regime (15oC to 32oC in summer and 0 to 26oC in winter). The spatial-temporal rainfall variability shows random fluctuating characteristics of expansion / contraction of desert area but overall it is showing a slight decreasing over the NER as well as whole India.

Antheraea Assamensis

The Muga silk (Antheraea assamensis) rearing is confined to the North-East India, particularly, the Brahmaputra valley of Assam. This is perhaps, due to pleasant climatic conditions and distribution of wide range of muga host plants in this region. In Assam ‘Som’ tree provides the principal food for muga silkworms which produce the golden coloured silk that is very specific and prestigious to north-eastern states of India and found nowhere else on the globe. The north-eastern region of India, with total geographical area of 3,04,426 sq km, is situated in eastern part of India. It lies between 21.33 to 29.28° N. latitudes and 89.42 to 97.24° E. longitudes. The region is a part of eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspot in the world hence endow with endemic flora and fauna. In this paper the researcher tries to the possibility of traditional way of rearing of muga, rural livelihood and conservation effort among the indigenous communities of the Brahmaputra valley in Assam.

  Cleome genus includes 601 plant species from the family Cleomaceae. Of more than 600 plants, 206 (34.3%) plants are having accepted species names. Cleome gynandra Linn. is a well-known medicinal plant with traditional and pharmacological importance. A good number of secondary plant metabolites have also been isolated from different parts of C. gynandra. Our investigation confirms two mutant varieties of C. gynandra exists in India. Accordingly, the objective of this study was designed to critically evaluate the pharmacological and phytochemical evaluation of C. gynandra of two mutant variety, to provide a consolidated platform for research potential of both the mutant varieties of C. gynandra. Careful scrutiny reveals that the plant possesses a huge range pharmacological applications, such as anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, anticancerous, immunomodulator, and antidiabetic agents. To arrive its pharmacological importance the published papers also shown an enormous amount of phytochemicals endorsement. Scientific perusal reveals different parts of the plant has an immense medicinal importance which proofs its traditional use round the glove. But in North-Eastern region of India, the same plant abundantly found in pink mutant variety. To date, there is not much research investigation for this mutant variety to validate its pharmacological importance. Therefore, research needs to scrutinize and compare the medicinal claims of the pink mutant variety in the bio-diverse region of North-East India.

India's North Eastern Region (NER) stretches from the foothills of the Himalayas in the eastern range and is surrounded by international borders with countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Tibet Autonomous Region), Nepal, and Myanmar. The landlocked region is constrained by a brief spell of insurgency, and dismal unemployment has affected the region's progress since 1947. The advent of the Look East Policy coupled with a number of South Asia sub-regional arrangements with neighboring countries opened a “Pandora's Box” for this region. The SASEC initiatives of ADB helped to improve the status of tourism and infrastructure, including roads, air connectivity, and also opened cross-border land routes and roads within the North East (NE). The present study takes stock of tourism development from a sustainability perspective and examines the implementation of the SASEC tourism project in eight NE States of India with a view to suggest priority areas for action for promotion of tourism in this region.
