The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region, hereafter MDoNER, has implemented several measures to promote timely completion and quality assurance of sanctioned works across the North Eastern Region. Projects are subject to periodic monitoring and inspection by officials from MDoNER, the North Eastern Council and Field Technical Support Units. Regular review meetings are held with state governments and Project Quality Monitors and third party technical inspection agencies have been introduced to strengthen oversight.

Under NESIDS (Other Than Roads Infrastructure) the SLEC recommends projects for primary and secondary health care, primary and secondary education, water supply, industrial development, sports and telecommunications. These recommendations guide central sanctioning and implementation support tailored to each state.

The state-wise sanctions amount to Rs 6,395.6 mn for Arunachal Pradesh, Rs 17,643.9 mn for Assam, Rs 4,403.0 mn for Manipur, Rs 2,666.6 mn for Meghalaya, Rs 4,590.8 mn for Mizoram, Rs 3,815.0 mn for Nagaland, Rs 2,320.1 mn for Sikkim and Rs 5,203.1 mn for Tripura, together comprising Rs 47,038.1 mn across 82 projects.
