The future of India's growth will be written in the Northeast.

From doubled airport capacity and stronger connectivity to AIIMS, the upcoming Sports University and major investments in education, the transformation is visible across Ashtalakshmi.

PM @narendramodi's focus on the Northeast is creating opportunities, jobs and aspirations for a new generation.
