Science and Technology Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh has said that the transformation of the Northeast over the last twelve years has been one of the significant outcomes of the development-oriented approach of the Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

 

The Minister said this when Deputy Chief Minister of Nagaland in-charge of Home and Border Affairs Yanthungo Patton called on him along with public representatives from Wokha district to discuss a range of Central projects in the State.

 

On the occasion, Dr. Singh said that the development of the North-East is no longer being viewed in isolation from the country’s overall growth journey. He added that the progress achieved in the region over the last twelve years reflects a sustained policy focus on overcoming geographical challenges and ensuring that distance does not become a barrier to development.

 

He also emphasised that from roads and railways to airports, waterways and digital connectivity, the region has seen a visible acceleration in development, bringing its people closer to the rest of the country and opening new avenues for growth.
