Vice President Radhakrishnan embarked on a four‑day visit to India's North‑East region today, aiming to engage with state leaders and assess development projects.
Vice President Radhakrishnan arrived in the North‑East on today’s date to commence a scheduled four‑day tour covering several states. The itinerary includes meetings with chief ministers, senior officials and local business representatives to discuss infrastructure, connectivity and socio‑economic initiatives.
During the visit, the Vice President is expected to review ongoing central government schemes such as the North‑East Special Infrastructure Development Scheme and the Regional Connectivity Project. He will also attend a public event in Guwahati, where he will address stakeholders on the region's growth prospects.
The tour, which will span Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and Nagaland, underscores the central government's focus on integrating the North‑East more closely with national development plans. Officials said the schedule will conclude on the final day with a press briefing summarising outcomes.
The Vice President's presence is seen as a signal of heightened political attention to the region, which has been a priority area for investment and security measures in recent years.
