2. INTRODUCTION
Today, North-East India is composed of its eight sisters namely Assam, Arunachal Pradesh,
Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. It is one of the most
backward region in whole country.

It is characterised by low per capita income, poor rate of capital formation, heavy population
pressure, lack of infrastructure, excessive dependence on agriculture and very backward

meet the problems such as natural resources like petroleum, natural gas, etc. and techniques of
manufacturing handicrafts .
These resources includes the fifth of total resources of India.
REASON TO SELECT THE THEME
The reason behind choosing this theme is the growth that we can achieve from this region .
Moreover, this can show a rapid increment in the field of development which can lead to
globalisation of the country
3. REASONS BEHIND LACK OF DEVELOPMENT AND NON-
UTILISATION OF RESOURCES
