This book covers themes related to the geosphere, biosphere,
sociosphere and ecosphere dealing with changing geographical,
environmental and socio-economic realities to plan a sustainable
future for the northeast region (NER) of India. The NER consists of
eight states-Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur,
Mizoram, Meghalaya and Sikkim-and they carry political, economic
and social importance. The book integrates the past, present and
future of geospheric attributes incorporating progress towards the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to meet the demands for
improving human wellbeing under diverse and challenging
socio-economic, political and environmental conditions. The key
SDGs, as in food and agriculture, health, education, water, energy
and other overarching goals of the region, have yet to incorporate
providing sustainable jobs and promoting equality and inclusive
development, although there have been a few studies in that regard.
The challenges to achieve SDGs in the NER are formidable compared
to the rest of India. The NER has put a great deal of effort into
achieving the SDGs, mainly in poverty (SDG-1), good health (SDG-3),
education (SDG-4), gender (SDG-5), decent work (SDG-8) and reduced
inequalities (SDG-10), similar to the rest of the country. However,
the standard development indicators such as road length, access to
health care, power consumption and other measures are far below the
national average. A multi-pronged strategy has played a pivotal
role in the region, but development strategy to attain the SDGs
2030 must be more inclusive in empowering people with maximising
self-governance, considering the resources, needs and aspirations
of the people. This book evaluates the performance of the SDGs and
fills in the gaps. It includes case studies focusing on different
SDGs using advanced cartographic, statistical and GIS techniques
and methods. It also provides unique findings that serve as
valuable resources for planners and policy-makers so that a
sustainable future in Northeast India can be achieved.
