Look East Policy: Impact on Northeast India

Development has been the foremost cry of the northeast. The look east policy was initiated as a development strategy to accelerate India’s engagement with Southeast Asia. To this effect the Northeast of India is significantly placed at the focal point of this policy. The implementation of this policy can bring tremendous opportunities to the northeast. This book is a collected work of deliberations and papers that were presented at the national seminar, "Look East Policy: Impact on Northeast India" organized by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), Synod College. It reflects the thoughts and concerns that the engaged audience have expressed about the northeast and also includes suggestions to address the region’s decades old concerns.
