Developmental issues of the North-Eastern States of India cannot be studied in isolation 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. – Reproduced
