90 Infra Projects Worth Rs 34.17 bn Approved for North East in 4 Years

The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) has approved 90 projects with a total expenditure of Rs 34.17 billion under the North East Special Infrastructure Development Scheme (NESIDS) over the past three financial years (2021-22 to 2023-24) and the on-going financial year 2024-25. This announcement was made in a written reply in the Lok Sabha by Sukanta Majumdar, Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region.

The NESIDS scheme is categorised into two components:

NESIDS (roads): This component focuses on developing physical assets such as roads, bridges, and related infrastructure.

NESIDS (Other Than Roads Infrastructure - OTRI): This segment addresses infrastructure development in areas like healthcare (primary and secondary), education, water supply, solid waste management, industrial growth, civil aviation, sports, and telecom. Projects under OTRI typically range in cost from Rs 50 million to Rs 500 million.

All northeastern states qualify for project approvals under NESIDS based on their normative allocations.

While the implementation of the sanctioned projects is handled by the respective state governments of the North Eastern Region, the responsibility for monitoring primarily lies with these states. However, MDoNER maintains a close watch on the progress of these initiatives to ensure timely and effective execution.
