Local Abstract: [PIP] Northeast India is in deep crisis. It therefore attracts considerable attention from policymakers. Some of the region's problems date from before independence, while others were generated later. The following factors are the root causes of the crisis: massive migration and sharing of the limited resources with poor indigenous people, overexploitation of the environment through extensive deforestation, policymakers' failure to take effective measures to change the economic scenario, and the application of developmental criteria without taking into consideration regional particularities. Migration, health care, environment, human rights, development policy, and nongovernmental organizations in the northeast are discussed. A sustainable development program based upon rural, small-scale industry with markets throughout the country may save the people and environment of the area.
