The North Eastern Council released Rs 26.56 crore to Meghalaya in October, the highest allocation among all states.
Meghalaya received the largest share of the North Eastern Council's (NEC) October fund releases, amounting to Rs 26.56 crore, according to the council's latest figures. The allocation places the state ahead of all other northeastern regions for the month.
The NEC, a statutory body tasked with promoting balanced development across India's North East, disburses funds for infrastructure, livelihood and social welfare projects. Meghalaya's top ranking reflects the state's ongoing initiatives in sectors such as tourism, renewable energy and rural connectivity.
State officials said the disbursement will be channelled into pre‑approved projects aimed at boosting employment and improving basic services. The council's October release follows a steady flow of funds earlier in the fiscal year, underscoring the government's focus on accelerating growth in the region.
