The central government was bringing a "golden era" to the northeastern
states with its Act East Policy instead of the earlier Look East Policy,
Meghalaya Governor V. Shanumuganthan said on Thursday.
"The
central government has launched various schemes and unique programmes
which are aimed at enhancing the livelihood of the commoners. These
schemes and programmes have also been brought to Meghalaya and other
northeastern states with a broad mind for the growth and development of
this region," he said after inaugurating a three-day public information
campaign organised by the Press Information Bureau in Smit village, 21
km from Shillong.
"If the northeast is not developed, then India
cannot develop. Therefore, the government at the centre has given the
northeastern states top priority to ensure growth and development," he
said.
He said the Narendra Modi government was focusing on
healthcare, communication, roads and transport, and infrastructure in
the northeast.
"The people of this region must also play their
role in ensuring growth and development of the region by visiting
government departments and collecting the required information and
taking advantage of the various schemes," he said.
Shanmuganathan
also appreciated the contributions made by central government agencies
like All India Radio and Doordarshan Kendra, Shillong, and healthcare
services like North East Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and
Medical Science (NEIGHRIMS).
