Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized his government’s unwavering stance against terrorism and Maoist extremism, reaffirming a zero-tolerance approach. Speaking at the Rising North East Investors Summit in New Delhi, he underlined the strategic importance of developing the North East region to support India’s broader goal of becoming a developed nation.
Highlighting the North East as a rising hub of opportunity, PM Modi encouraged investors to explore its diverse sectors, pointing out its growing appeal in energy, semiconductors, tourism, and eco-tourism. He praised the region’s rich diversity, calling it a major strength of the country, and said the North East is transforming from a “frontier region” to a “front-runner of growth.”
The Prime Minister expanded on the acronym “EAST” — Empower, Act, Strengthen, and Transform — to frame his vision for the region. He noted its potential for global conferences, destination weddings, and economic development through industries like bamboo, bio-economy, tea, petroleum, and sports.
He acknowledged past challenges but pointed to major infrastructure achievements such as the Sela Tunnel, Bhupen Hazarika Bridge, thousands of kilometers of new roads and railways, expanded airport infrastructure, and the establishment of the Northeast Gas Grid, ensuring stable energy supply.
Reflecting on the recent Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav, PM Modi celebrated the investment climate in the Northeast, crediting ministries and state governments for their proactive efforts. Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia also highlighted key developments, noting the region now has 17 airports and over 2,000 flights, and envisioned the Northeast as a future international trade corridor with Southeast Asia.
The two-day summit is designed to showcase the Northeast as a land of vast investment potential, featuring sessions on tourism, food processing, textiles, IT, infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and more. It aims to unite policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs to foster economic growth and collaboration in the region.
