The Northeast of India has not seen \u201cbalanced development\u201d since independence. Most of the economic activities in the Northeast states of India are government dependent and these have made our economy dormant. It has been postulated that landlocked, poor infrastructure, poor governance, corruption, lack of investment, small market size, law and order (both external and internal), etc. engender the North Eastern (NE) States of India one of the most economically backward region in this country. It is believed that lack of connectivity within the region has hindered more significantly on the region\u2019s economic growth than the isolation from the rest of the country. To end the region\u2019s geo-political isolation and to enhance social and economic mobility and market integration, improving connectivity is an important precondition. Connectivity infrastructure in Manipur is the worst among the NE states. Shipping link (private and public line) is necessary. Trilateral roads has not exploited into economic exploitation and need to update infrastructure. There is no holistic approach of how to use this trilateral in order to promote economic development of this region.<\/p>\n
