North Eastern Council
For the release of the pending amount of over Rs 15,000 crore under Non Lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR), the NEC will follow up with the Centre.
The NEC budget for 2016-17 allotted by the Centre is a meager Rs 800 crore. The allotted amount is meant to cater to the needs of all the eight Northeast states. NEC secretary Ram Muivah, while admitting that there should be significant increase in the budget said, “It is a tragic irony that huge plan funds are lying unutilized when the region really needs larger financial resources”. Further if the Centre had released a fraction of Rs 15,000 crore, this would have been very helpful to NEC to take up development schemes as NEC wants the centre to increase its budget up to Rs.2000 crore.
