Published: September 21, 2024 11:15 AM IST By Northeast India, which is known for its beautiful landscape and varied traditions, has been marred with issues such as insurgency, interstate border conflicts, and the growing drug menace since the country gained independence in 1947. For years, the region, which consists of 8 states namely , was overlooked, neglected, and often subjected to discrimination by the rest of the country.
Despite its humongous potential to become a hotspot for tourist destinations, the northeastern states lacked the required attention from the Central government. The absence of economic and infrastructure development played a huge in the rise of insurgency, with each state facing its unique challenges. Addressing these issues has long been crucial to fostering unity and building an inclusive nation.
In response, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living has worked tirelessly to unite the region’s diverse communities, striving to create a peaceful and harmonious Northeast India. Based on Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s ideals of “Inside every criminal, there is a victim crying for help,” the rehabilitation program aimed at stress elimination and bringing inner peace through the Art of Living Sudarshan Kriya and the Youth Leadership Training Program since the early 2000.
