Urbanisation, a key driver of growth, has been slower in the NER than the national average, though states like Sikkim, Nagaland, and Tripura show notable progress due to improved infrastructure and policy support. The region’s cultural diversity and geographical isolation create both opportunities and challenges for balanced development. While urban growth is concentrated in a few states, others such as Assam and Meghalaya lag behind, highlighting the need for targeted, region-specific policies to address emerging urban challenges and promote inclusive development.-Reproduced https://www.printspublications.com/journal/article/nagarlok--quarterly-journal-of-urban-affairs--a-ugccare-listed-journal/4404 Population growth, Urbanisation, Basic Amenities, NER, India. 61028 Nagarlok: Quarterly journal of Urban Affairs AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408766 IIPA IIPA 2026-06-05 57(3), Sep, 2025: p.261-277 AR139069 2026-06-05 AR
