Summary Observations

NER lags behind national average in pace of development and
economic transformation.

GSDP growth rate for the North Eastern States have picked-up
during 1999-2000 to 2007-2008, but remained below the growth rate
of national economy.

Growth rate lower than the national economy has translated into the
economic gap between the NER and that the rest of India not
narrowing down at the desired pace.

Though there is higher industrial growth in NE Region as compared
to All India level but this has not resulted in the shrinking of primary
sector and growth of secondary sector, particularly manufacturing
sector has remained almost at the same level. Growth in Tertiary
sector is due to continuously increase in Governments spending.
