In:
Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: For decades, the North-East has been a blackhole for business and enterprise. The sustained conflict, geographical isolation, militarisation and migration have led to a drying up of investments, and the lack of economic and social development in the region. This is despite the richness of natural resources in the region, presenting a huge opportunity for investment, and the growth of enterprise in the region. The government will have to facilitate an ecosystem where business practices can occur smoothly and without hassle. Despite several attempts by the government to enhance local development, the current strategy has led to a distribution-oriented, politically-led economic process and not the efficiency-led process envisioned. This has resulted in natural resources and savings moving away from the region to other high productivity regions. By bringing all the stakeholders together and evolving a comprehensive road map for development, the North-East can become a new hub for social enterprise in the country. - Reproduced.
