In one of the detailed accounts of human development in North-East India, scholars from various disciplines discuss the policy perspectives on growth, poverty and human development. While doing so they highlight the region’s performance viz-a–viz other regions in terms of human development indicators over the last few decades.
 
Arranged thematically, the essays analyse issues relating to Human Development Index (HDI), growth and development priorities at the all-India level, and trends in the North East. Well-Known development experts collectively seek to find the causes for the mismatch between poor growth and high HDI in the region. The possibility of social tension due to this imbalance highlights the importance of a sustainable development process. Emphasizing the immediate requirement for a growth-promoting strategy, the volume addresses a number of socioeconomic and political issues.
Focusing on each North Eastern state individually, the book provides unique insights into the development process and trends in the region. It is invaluable for students and researchers of development economics, development professionals, policymakers, and social scientist working on North-East India.
