FM Sitharaman assures renewed push for externally aided projects in Northeast
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has assured a renewed push by the Centre to accelerate Externally Aided Projects (EAPs) in the Northeast, following a meeting with the Chief Ministers of Assam and Meghalaya in the national capital on Wednesday. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma met Sitharaman to discuss issues concerning EAPs in their respective states and ways to increase capital expenditure and create new avenues for infrastructure development in the region. Sangma, in a post on X, said the meeting focused on matters related to externally aided projects and thanked the Union Finance Minister for her continued support for the aspirations of Meghalaya and the Northeast. Sarma said the discussions were aimed at increasing capital expenditure in the region and giving fresh impetus to the implementation of EAPs in Assam and Meghalaya. We made a strong case to bring a new impetus to the pace of Externally Aided Projects in both of our states, which will open new investment channels for physical and social infrastructure, Sarma said in a post on X. He added that Sitharaman responded positively to the proposals and assured the Chief Ministers of a renewed push from the Government of India to advance the development agenda. The meeting assumes significance as externally aided projects play an important role in supporting large-scale infrastructure and social development initiatives in the Northeast. Such projects are generally supported through financial assistance from multilateral and bilateral development agencies, including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The projects cover areas such as roads, urban infrastructure, water supply, health, education, connectivity and other sectors that require substantial capital investment. For the Northeast, faster implementation of these projects is expected to strengthen infrastructure while also improving the region's ability to attract private investment and create new economic opportunities. The Assam and Meghalaya governments have been seeking greater central support to speed up project clearances and implementation of externally aided initiatives, which can bring additional resources into the states without placing the entire financial burden on state budgets. The latest discussions also underline the Centre's broader focus on increasing public and development expenditure in the Northeast and improving physical and social infrastructure across the region. The Chief Ministers' meeting with Sitharaman is expected to provide fresh momentum to ongoing and proposed EAPs in Assam and Meghalaya, while opening additional channels of development financing for the two states. Both state governments are expected to work with the Centre and funding agencies to address implementation-related issues and accelerate the rollout of projects.

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 9 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that the state government has taken a series of measures to strengthen the child protection system and plug regulatory gaps, with a focus on ensuring greater safety and care for children across the state. In a post on social media platform X, Chief Minister Sarma noted that when it comes to children, there can be no gaps in protection and asserted that the state government has identified shortcomings in the existing system and acted to strengthen safeguards. The Chief Minister said the state has notified the State Child Protection Policy and Juvenile Justice (JJ) Rules, 2026, describing the move as a key step towards creating a more robust child protection framework. He said the state government has also made child safeguarding officers and staff screening mandatory, aimed at ensuring that personnel involved in the care and protection of children meet necessary safety standards. The Chief Minister also added that the functioning of Child Welfare Committees (CWCs), Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs) and more than 10 statutory bodies has been streamlined as part of the state government's efforts to improve coordination and accountability within the child protection system. According to CM Sarma, Individual Care Plans and home audits have also been institutionalised to ensure that the needs and safety of children are systematically assessed and monitored. Child safety cannot afford regulatory gaps, CM Sarma said, underlining the state government's approach towards strengthening institutional mechanisms for the protection of children. The measures are aimed at creating a comprehensive child safeguarding framework covering prevention, institutional care, monitoring and rehabilitation, while ensuring that statutory bodies and personnel dealing with children follow stronger safeguards.
