The Summit aims to showcase the NER as a global destination for investment and explore possibility of convergence of efforts of various central Ministries and North Eastern States to attract investment in the North Eastern Region (NER).
Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, Hon’ble Union Minister of Textiles and Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region would be gracing this occasion.
NER has huge potential for investments particularly in the field of textiles and handicrafts due to its strong traditional skill base and a variety of unique designs and eco-friendly products. Ministry of Textiles is implementing projects worth Rs. 1050 cr under North Eastern Region Textile Promotion Scheme (NERTPS) for Handlooms, Handicrafts, Sericulture, Apparel & Garmenting, Technical Textiles etc. in the eight States of North East Region in line with the “Act East” policy of Government of India.
