Implementation of
the solutionProblem Statement
Road length, access to healthcare, and power consumption in the region
are below the national average
Generates less than 8 per cent of its 63,257 MW of hydroelectric pwer
generation potential
 Per capita power consumption of power at 110 Kwh. is almost a fourth
of the national average (411 Kwh.)
Process of Development
Top-down development planning strategy has not involved people in
designing and implementing the strategy
Relationship between public spending and service delivery outcomes has
been tenuous.
 Lack of people’s involvement has robbed the system of a sense of
belonging and led to inefficient and wasteful resource allocation
Lack of social accountability
Weak and unresponsive institutions of governance and market
The standard of living of the people in the region, as
measured by per capita Gross State Domestic Product
(GSDP), has lagged significantly behind the rest of the
country.
At Rs. 18,027 in 2004-05, GSDP was less than the all-State
average of Rs. 25,968 by 31 per cent

Vast disparities among geographies and
various tribes in terms of needs and priorities
 Population comprises of more than 550 tribes
including scheduled tribes and sub-tribes ; each
with its own language and culture
Limited availability of arable land with 52 %
forest cover used for providing global public
goods
In states like Mizoram and Tripura two third
area is hilly terrain and hence difficulty to use it
for agriculture
Harnessing resources may lead to environmental
problems and projects may not get environmental
clearance
Facilitating trade with neighboring countries
may cause security issue
 Insurgency problem in several parts of North
East
