On this day, Chief Minister Professor (Dr.) Manik Saha, as the convener of the high-level task force aimed at expanding investment, discussed strategies for increasing investment among the northeastern states.

During the discussion, he highlighted the creation of a strategic roadmap for establishing industries in the concerned states, including setting up urea fertilizer plants leveraging mineral oil, gas, and coal mines, promoting bamboo-based industries, establishing rubber-based industries, edible oil factories, tea industry, medicinal plant cultivation, technology sectors, startups, real estate, healthcare, and tourism investment opportunities.

He also emphasized the establishment of modern mills for the aromatic Khasa rice produced in the state, promotion and expansion of organic farming, construction of infrastructure for storing various agricultural products, application of scientific methods in banana processing, and setting up rice husk processing units.

The meeting also focused extensively on potential areas for the development of the tourism industry across the eight northeastern states. During the discussion, Chief Minister Professor (Dr.) Manik Saha stressed the importance of establishing a Northeast Tourist Circuit to increase revenue for the northeastern states and to promote and expand tourism centers among tourists.

He discussed ensuring easily accessible air services for tourists, increasing investment in the tourism sector, arranging training for guides, ensuring tourist safety, and promoting the culture and heritage of each state.

In the meeting, DoNER Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia suggested initiatives to boost agricultural production in the northeastern states through digital mapping technology, value addition to agricultural products, promotion and marketing of agricultural products through the PPP model, and establishing storage systems.

He emphasized focusing on the production of specialty products from the eight states, increasing international trade, and prioritizing the implementation of various projects signed under MoUs.

He also stressed the establishment of an Investment Promotion Agency to enhance investment. He noted that the northeastern states are potential hubs for tourism and that new initiatives must be undertaken to attract tourists.

In this context, he cited the tourism systems of Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia as examples.

He further stated that these three Southeast Asian countries attract the highest number of tourists, and their initiatives for tourism development could be reviewed and adapted for implementation in the eight northeastern states of India if necessary.

He emphasized establishing one tourism site circuit in each of the eight states, along with providing various tourism-related services for the development of the tourism industry.
