India prepares for 11th edition of North East Festival

As Hornbill Festival concluded today, anticipation is building for the 11th edition of the North East Festival, scheduled to begin in Delhi on December 22.

Shyamkanu Mahanta, Chief Organizer of the Festival, expressed the festival’s deep connection with Delhi, stating, “Delhi holds a special place in our hearts.” The festival, beyond its cultural significance, has evolved into a symbol of identity for the people of the North East.

This edition promises ambitious plans, including a tourism B2B meet and a B2B meet for the textile and food processing sectors, supported by the Union Tourism Ministry and the MSME Ministry, respectively. Renowned North East entrepreneurs have been invited to showcase their products during the festival.

The inauguration ceremony is expected to be graced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, with the presence of Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) G Kishan Reddy, Union Ministers Anurag Thakur and Sarbananda Sonowal, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and other dignitaries adding to the grandeur of the event. The festival aims to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and integrity of North East India, marking another milestone in its journey.
