520 _aGovernment of India has made concerted efforts for industrial development of the North Eastern Region of India with a major initiative in the form of North East Industrial Policy in 1997 followed by a more inclusive North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy implemented since 2007. Based on Annual Survey of Industries data from 1981-82 to 2014-15, the paper examines the growth of manufacturing industries with respect to few selected variables and analyses the impact of the special industrial policies of the Government of India on industrial development in the region,. The analysis indicates that there has been growth of manufacturing industries across various states in the region. For the region too, there has been positive growth for all the variables under study. It has been observed that the manufacturing sector is more capital-intensive, with low level of employment generation over the years. However, the increase in industrial activities has not led to a major structural change in the economy of the region as the share of manufacturing sector in Gross State Domestic Product has increased marginally during the period under study. - Reproduced
