With the current Lok Sabha election in progress all over India, will the eight states in North East comprising 25 seats, create a viable impact in the format of the next government at the Centre by giving a fillip to the national touch? This is the question lingering in the minds of a section of people, especially in North East, as a large number of political analysts, who are keenly observing the political scenario with utmost interest in the once-neglected and a step-motherly treatment meted out to the region. The people in North East are hoping against hope that just like the East and South India that played a prominent role in the formation of the Central Governments during the tenure of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, V.P. Singh and A.B. Vajpayee, the North East would  be playing  a pivotal role in the functioning of the Central Government, and more so, when the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to retain power, after the results are declared on May 23, this year.

The change has the potential to spell doom. The species is none other than human being. It is indisputably true that for our planet this species has become a burden. It is stated that earth’s temperature has risen 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last century. And the past 50 years of warming is due to human activity. With the passage of time the load is becoming heavier. Some of our activities being antagonistic to nature are instrumental in bringing woes to earth. The woes are rise of earth’s atmospheric temperature. It has reached the alarming level. Rampant deforestation, (it is estimated that earth is losing over 150,000 square km of tropical forest every year).  Burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil, decomposition of wastes in landfills have released enormous amount of green house gases into atmosphere.

For the restive border state of Manipur, the 17th Lok Sabha election will forever remain special as it is during this parliamentary election, Manipur entered the history books as the first Indian state to have all-women polling booths in at least three assembly constituencies, wholly managed by women poll officers. As per the Election Commission's (EC) directions to set up polling stations entirely managed by women, such booths are set up across the country but Manipur takes the cake by having three assembly segments manned only for women poll officers.

Even the most avid readers of newspapers often miss some small news that tells the tale of major transformations. Many among us might have overlooked a news-piece "41 Kuki National Front cadres voted in 2019 polls”.

The news appeared almost in all dailies of India. Yet chances are that the people may not have attached much importance to it. In fact, they cannot be blamed. How does it really matter, if 41 people voted in a particular polling booth for the new Lok Sabha 2019 in Manipur? They are among the millions of voters. Hence, does it really matter?

Progressively the start-up setting has been increasing in the North East region due to government initiatives, organizations and independent enthusiast, creating entrepreneurs to ideate, innovate, and challenge the shortcomings in the region.

North East region is inadequate due to assorted reasons. Logistic is one factor wherein, the cost is higher as compared to bigger cities therefore, failing to impress the investors and other corporate bodies across. 

A debate on the geography, infrastructure, and roads links is an endless matter. However, we lack recognition of the leading entrepreneurs especially women from North East Region who made a far-fetched mark in the metropolitan cities. Their entrepreneurial skills not only brought glory, money, and status but it does fortify the state in general.
