Explanation:
Geographical
Very high rainfall, shifting river courses, poor drainage system and narrow valleys are regularly causing severe floods, erosion, landslides and sand deposition in the North East causing loss of huge areas of valuable agricultural land.
Hilly, inaccessible and undulating terrain has led to underdeveloped transport links.
Large area of land is under ‘Jhum cultivation’ which leads to large scale deforestation resulting in soil erosion and loss of soil fertility.
Political
Chinese Aggression on Arunachal Pradesh (called NEFA at that time) in 1962, apparently refrain large scale investment from private player in North East.
Large scale Migration from Bangladesh led to various socio-economic- political problem
The culture of ‘bandhs’ is peculiar problem of NER, widely prevalent in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland.
Three fourth of NER have no proper land records and Individual ownership of land is not well established
Social
Remarkable growth of migration from the North East to different parts of the country mostly in search of education and job opportunities gives big blow to the local society.
Drug abuse is a serious problem among youth of North east with more than 30% of its youth being drug abusers.
The pandemic of HIV/AIDS, spreading fast in Manipur, Nagaland and Mizoram, is also a matter of grave concern.
Migration from surrounding areas of NERs (Bangladesh and states of Bihar and Bengal) reduced the average size of land holding to about one hectare.
Economic
Tax collection and internal resources of NERs are quite meagerthis increasesdependence on central devolution.
Financial management is inefficient which resulted in leakage of funds
Production conditions in agriculture are traditional, agricultural productivity is lowest, low coverage of irrigation, and low application of chemical fertilizers
Infrastructural
Poor state of basic infrastructural facilities like roadways, waterways, and energy as well as social infrastructure like educational institutions, health facilities etc.
NER has about 6% of the national road and 13% of the national highways. The railway network is only 4% of India’s rail network.
Governance
The fund utilization capacity of NE states is poor. This led to low release of fund. In MGNREGA the expenditure during 2016-17 in Assam and Manipur was only 1630 and 4953 per rural poor, against Rs 15657 in Kerala.
Many projects in NER arelanguishing due toproblemsrelated to land acquisition and forest clearance, prevailing law and order situation and limited working season due to high rainfall.
Weak Administrative capacity and organizational structure
