The Finance Minister stated that the PM-DevINE will be implemented through the North-Eastern Council. An initial allocation of Rs. 1,500 crore will be made for the new scheme.

It will fund infrastructure, in the spirit of PM GatiShakti, and social development projects based on felt needs of the North-East.

This will enable livelihood activities for youth and women, filling the gaps in various sectors, the Minister explained.
