Mandate of HLTF on NEEC, inter alia, includes assessment of existing economic infrastructure and investment ecosystem in NER; identification of gaps and formulating strategies to attract investment in the region. Three meetings of HLTF on NEEC have been held.

  1. Infrastructure development projects,
  2. Social development projects based on the felt needs of the region,
  3. Enhancing livelihood activities for youth & women of the region, and

Keeping in view of the above objectives, a total of 48 projects worth Rs.6044.36 crore has been sanctioned under the scheme since inception and upto 21.01.2026.

The projects sanctioned under Schemes of MDoNER are executed by the concerned Implementing Agencies (IAs) of the State Governments and the primary responsibility of monitoring of these projects lies with the concerned State Governments/IAs.  Projects are, however also monitored by Ministry of DoNER through Field Technical Support Units (FTSUs), Project Quality Monitors (PQMs) and Third-Party Technical Inspection Agencies (TPTIs) and inspections by officials of MDoNER and North Eastern Council (NEC), as well as during review meetings. Inspection report of above mentioned agencies are uploaded on the Poorvottar Vikas Setu (PVS) portal of MDoNER for digital monitoring of projects. In addition to the above, FTSUs closely engage with IAs, resolve bottlenecks, update project progress on the PM Gati Shakti Portal, and ensure prompt action at the field level.
