Abstract
Being at the periphery of postcolonial
India’s industrial development,
North East India (NEI)
gained policy attention only during
post-liberalization period.
This paper explores the impact of
the Industrial Policy in NEI, Data
showed no remarkable achievement
of industrial growth in the
organized sector in the aftermath
of such a policy. Thus, the region
is in need to expand its industrial
base, suitable to its topography
and ecology. Given the intra-regional
diversities and topographical
vulnerability, the existing
uniform Industrial Policy for
NEI may not be able to meet the
required demand. The paper
therefore suggests a different
policy perspective to address issues
between Assam and rest of
the states of NEI within a hillplain
binary.
