India’s Northeast region comprises of eight states, mostly surrounded by international borders and connecting with mainland India via narrow about 22 K.M wide “Chicken neck”. Although the region has geographical, cultural and racial proximity to India’s east and southeastern neighbors, strategic consideration of the colonial and post-colonial regimes kept the region landlocked and peripheral. The proclamation of India’s Look east policy, later rechristened as the Act East policy stimulated expectation that the region would be benefited and would get liberation from the prolonged backwardness. Connectivity, particularly sub-regional connectivity is a major element of the Act East policy and as the launch pad of the policy many sub-regional connectivity projects are initiated through the Northeastern states. However, the materialization of many of such projects and how far these projects would contribute to development endeavor of the region is still a matter of discussion due to various internal and external factors.
