Educational Policy Interventions for the Region (North East India)

Education policies worldwide are increasingly being realigned to the economic prosperity,

vertical mobility and social citizenship of the people. Human capital theorists have long

underlined the need for investment in building productive human capital in any organisation

or a society. Our educational policies developed at the national level are often driven by some overarching goals. Such a top-down approach in implementing those policies on the ground, especially in a specific region like North East India, needs a bottom-up restructuring. There is an urgent need to re-examine our education policies at the regional level to provide an environment where individuals can utilise their education and training to gain employment, improve their living standards, and contribute to the social development of the area.
