Journal of Global Economy, 2018, vol. 14, issue 4, 247-268

Abstract: This paper studies the trends and pattern in the share of the planned outlay in physical infrastructure on North Eastern States in total outlay of India. The sectors which are focused here are Irrigation & Flood Control, Energy and Transport & Communication. The Paper also analyses the association between the plan outlay on selected sectors and resultant change in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and Human Development Index (HDI) over the period of XI and XII Five Year Plans. The paper concludes that increased plan outlay on physical infrastructure has resulted in increased Gross State Domestic Product in North Eastern States but it may take longer time and more attention towards development of Social infrastructure before it is translated into improved Human Development Index (HDI)
