Below we publish excerpts of the speech delivered by Manik Sarkar, chief minister of Tripura at the 66th North Eastern Council Meet held in New Delhi on May 29, 2017
I WOULD like to suggest to hold two meetings of the NEC in a year. One meeting may be in the beginning of the financial year to finalise the annual budget and plan, and next one after a considerable time gap to undertake a review of the activities and performance on the basis of the budget and the adopted time specific schemes and projects.
