PM Narendra Modi’s governance reforms have helped in “mainstreaming” the Northeast, which is now being cited as an example of his development model, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Tuesday.

Addressing the regional conference organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) in Guwahati, he said that path-breaking decisions were taken by the Modi government for the development of the Northeast and the impact of those were now visible in the quality of life of the people of the region.

“The reforms were brought in by the central government for ease of governance and ease of delivery of service. Northeast today is being cited as an example of Modi’s development model,” said Singh, the MoS for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
