Earlier only Assam was connected by railway network but now a majority of the areas of the NE states are being connected by railway network. There has been a major expansion of railway network in Tripura also.
The Narendra Modi government is investing heavily on the development of infrastructure in the North Eastern region. An allocation of Rs 21,000 crore has been done. New medical colleges are being opened in the region while IIT has also started. The North Eastern region hold strategic importance for the nation since it borders China and Myanmar, he added.
Lauding the efforts of CAPSI, the apex body of private security agencies in India, Mr Reddy said CAPSI is starting major initiatives in the North Eastern states which will create major employment opportunities for the youth and also speed up growth and development of the region. He asked CAPSI to strengthen private security industry in the North East and the government was ready to help and support the private security industry which today employs over 1 crore private security personnel and professionals.
Addressing the meeting, CAPSI Chairman Mr Kunwar Vikram Singh said the organization would set up “Centres of Excellence” for training in private security in the capitals of each state of the NE region. CAPSI has already signed MoUs with reputed international security education organisations like the International Federation of Protection officers (IFPO) and the Association of Investigation & Security Agencies Regulators (USA) and The Security Institute of UK for placement of trained youth of NE in foreign countries, he added.
Mr Singh said CAPSI was committed to support Narendra Modi government’s efforts towards growth and development of the region.
