REGIONS<br />

TOWARDS DYNAMIC GROWTH<br />

ESTABLISHED UNDER THE MINISTRY OF<br />

DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH EAST REGION, Government of<br />

India, the North East Council has been doing yeoman service<br />

towards all-round progress of the eight states that the Council<br />

oversees. Apart from economic and social development, the<br />

Council has also recently undertaken major steps for the<br />

promotion of tourism, art and culture. These include giving a<br />

fillip to eco-tourism in Sikkim, promoting adventure tourism<br />

in Assam and Meghalaya and promoting religious tourism by<br />

highlighting the many attractions of Buddhist circuits in<br />

Sikkim, Manipur and Tripura. These initiatives will surely go a<br />

long way in contributing to the dynamic growth of the region.<br />
