17 Feb 2026 CW Team

MDoNER said that projects are periodically monitored and inspected by officials of MDoNER, the North Eastern Council and Field Technical Support Units (FTSUs) to ensure timely completion. Regular review meetings are conducted with State Governments and Project Quality Monitors and Third Party Technical Inspection agencies (PQM/TPTI) have been introduced to strengthen oversight. The ministry indicated that these arrangements aim to expedite execution and improve project quality across the north eastern region.

Under NESIDS (Roads) the State Level Empowered Committee (SLEC) of each State recommends projects that create physical assets in roads, bridges and auxiliary infrastructure in line with local needs and priorities. Under NESIDS (Other Than Roads Infrastructure) SLECs propose projects for primary and secondary health care, primary and secondary education, water supply, industrial development, sports and telecom among other sectors. The SLEC-driven selection is intended to align investment with state identified gaps.

State-wise sanctioned cost figures converted to million show Arunachal Pradesh at Rs 6,395.6 mn, Assam at Rs 17,643.9 mn, Manipur at Rs 4,403.0 mn and Meghalaya at Rs 2,666.6 mn.
