TABLE 36: STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK
Stakeholder Key findings
Industry specific feedback
Handloom and Handicrafts • Raw materials are sourced from Guwahati and Thailand. Products
are uncompetitive outside state.
Horticulture and fruit
processing
• New and exotic fruits are being tried. Need for market development
branding and basic processing and packaging units and quality
certifications.
Hotels • Tourism is growing, but restricted to the few days of festivals.
Local legends and stories should be promoted to outside world to
attract tourists to the districts.
Jatropha plantation • There is a need for setting up bio-diesel units and finding buyers to
develop the available potential
Construction • Most construction labour comes from Nepal, Bihar and Tripura
Others • Forest resources provide scope for environmentalists and
ornithologists.
Industry feedback • Insurgency threat does not allow economic growth. Anyone who
earns over Rs 1 lakh per month is a target for abduction for ransom.
Government feedback • The Government‟s perspective is that traditional sectors such as
handloom and handicraft do not have much scope for development
as a big economic activity. Rather new areas such as IT, Tourism,
Apiculture and Horticulture should be focussed upon.
