Abstract
India's North-Eastern region, known for its cultural diversity and scenic beauty, has confronted distinctive developmental challenges. This diversity has given rise to unique cultural practices, music, dance, and crafts that are renowned across the world. Despite this richness, the region has grappled with developmental challenges such as lack of infrastructure, poor connectivity, poverty, hunger and limited access to healthcare and education. The adoption of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by India in 2015 provides a framework to address these challenges and promote sustainable development in the region. This paper illustrates the progress made in achieving the SDGs in terms of SDG Index released by NITI Aayog and the various initiatives taken by the Government of India in the process.
