The aim of this festival, DoNER minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said, is "to bring the eight states to the world".
Scindia said the ministry is organising a banking summit in Tripura on December 21 to attract investments and in January, it will hold an investment summit for the northeast in Delhi. The idea is to hold roadshows across major Indian cities and cities such as London and Dubai to show how the region is progressing, he said.
"Private sector investment will run parallel to government support," he said as he lauded the semiconductor ATMP plant that is being set up in Morigaon (Assam) by Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Private Limited. "It will change the way the world looks at Assam and the North East," he said.
