The Tripura administration, together with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, convened a regional workshop to discuss decriminalisation reforms and the implementation of BRAP and DBRAP across Northeastern states.
The Tripura government, in partnership with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), organised a regional workshop aimed at advancing decriminalisation reforms in the Northeastern region. The meeting brought together senior officials and policy makers from the eight Northeastern states to examine the legal and regulatory changes required for a more business‑friendly environment.
Key agenda items included the rollout of the Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) and its digital counterpart, the Digital Business Reform Action Plan (DBRAP). Participants reviewed the current status of decriminalisation measures, identified gaps in implementation, and discussed strategies to harmonise state‑level policies with central guidelines.
The workshop also served as a platform for sharing best practices and for drafting a coordinated roadmap that states can adopt to streamline procedures, reduce litigation risks, and attract investment. Officials indicated that the outcomes will be compiled into a joint report to guide future policy actions across the region.
By aligning decriminalisation efforts with BRAP and DBRAP, the governments aim to create a more predictable regulatory framework, thereby encouraging entrepreneurship and economic growth in the Northeast.
