PM Modi to inaugurate 'Rising North East Investors Summit' tomorrow

PM Modi inaugurates landmark summit showcasing Northeast India's investment potential across multiple strategic sectors and economic opportunities

"Northeast's cultural tapestry... will become the most powerful gateway to Southeast Asia - Jyotiraditya Scindia"

New Delhi, May 22

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to inaugurate the ‘Rising North East Investors Summit’ on Friday at Bharat Mandapam here -- highlighting the northeastern region as a land of opportunity for global and domestic investors.

The two-day summit aims to bring together key stakeholders, investors and policymakers on a single platform.

According to a Prime Minister's Office statement, the main focus sectors include tourism and hospitality, agro-food processing and allied sectors; textiles, handloom and handicrafts; healthcare; education and skill development; information technology or information technology-enabled services; infrastructure and logistics; energy; and entertainment and sports.

The ‘Rising North East Investors Summit’ is the culmination of various pre-summit activities, such as series of roadshows, and states' roundtables including Ambassador’s Meet and Bilateral Chambers Meet, organised by the Central government with active support from the state governments of the northeastern region.

The event will include ministerial sessions, business-to-government sessions, business-to-business meetings, startups and exhibitions of policy and related initiatives taken by state governments and central ministries for investment promotion.

Last week, Union Minister of Communications and Minister for Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, said that the greatest potential for India in the future is the growth of northeastern region, as the country advances towards the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

At the curtain raiser event for the ‘Rising North East Investor Summit’, the minister said the event will "showcase our wonderful ‘Ashta Lakshmi’ – our eight states, which stand at the heart of the transformative growth that our country represents".

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve, his commitment, his vision, is to ensure that the northeastern region becomes the pivot for the future growth and the future path of India as she advances towards her goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047," the Union Minister said.

"Northeast’s cultural tapestry, along with the reservoir of natural resources and the strategic geographical positioning, translated the region into the most powerful gateway in the world to Southeast Asia," he added.

This is a much-needed initiative! The Northeast has been neglected for too long. With proper investment in infrastructure and tourism, it can become India's growth engine. Hope this summit brings real projects, not just promises. 🙏

As someone from Assam, I'm cautiously optimistic. We've seen many summits before - the key is implementation. The region needs jobs, not just photo-ops. But Modi ji's focus on NE is better than previous governments.

Northeast's potential is huge! The organic produce, handicrafts, and tourism can compete globally. But investors must respect local cultures and ecology. No more 'mainland India' approach please - development should be inclusive.

Good initiative but security concerns must be addressed first. The region borders China, Myanmar, Bangladesh - we need stable law and order for investors to feel safe. Hope the summit discusses this aspect too.

The 'Ashta Lakshmi' concept is beautiful! Each NE state is unique like the 8 forms of Lakshmi. If developed properly, this region can be our bridge to ASEAN markets. Just hope the benefits reach local entrepreneurs, not just big corporates.

As a frequent traveler to NE, I can say the hospitality sector has massive potential. But we need better air connectivity and roads first. Hope this summit brings concrete plans for infrastructure development. ✈️
