It is worth noting that PM Modi, several Union ministers and lawmakers from the Northeast are also scheduled to participate in the event.
NEC is a nodal agency set up for undertaking economic and social development in the northeastern states. It has played a vital role for new economic endeavour, aiming to eradicate the basic issues that stood in the way of normal development of the region.
