Kohima, Mar 10 (PTI): President Pratibha Patil today asked the north-eastern States to put their best efforts to be a part of the Indian growth story by harnessing their potentials, particularly through the Centre's 'Look East' policy.
Insisting that the NE States must strive to be a part of inclusive growth promoted by the government, Patil said the 'Look East Policy' provides great opportunity for growth and development in the region for its close proximity to south-east Asian countries.
She was addressing a gathering at a public reception from the Nagaland government at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama near here on her maiden two-day visit to the State.
"I am pleased that the north-eastern region is pursuing 'Vision 2020' for its development and also has a regional council.
