The Government of India has introduced several schemes to accelerate industrialization and investments in the North Eastern Region (NER), Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region, Dr Sukanta Majumdar, informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on 5th December 2024.

The North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (NEIIPP) 2007, which was in effect from 1st April 2007 to 31st March 2017, was aimed at boosting industrial growth in the region. To address the region’s unique challenges, such as its hilly terrain and remote areas, the Government introduced the Freight Subsidy Scheme (FSS) in 2013, replacing the Transport Subsidy Scheme (1971). This scheme aimed to subsidize transportation costs for raw materials and finished products from industrial units in these areas, mitigating locational disadvantages.

In 2017, the North East Industrial Development Scheme (NEIDS) was introduced, covering both the manufacturing and service sectors. Most recently, in March 2024, the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme (UNNATI) was launched as a Central Sector Scheme to support industrial growth and generate employment opportunities in the North Eastern Region.

Additionally, the Government has implemented various flagship programs to further the development of the region. Dr. Majumdar noted that, as per the current policy, fifty-five non-exempted Central Ministries and Departments are mandated to allocate at least 10% of their Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) for Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes dedicated to the North Eastern Region.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region is overseeing a range of schemes, including the North East Special Infrastructure Development Scheme (NESIDS), Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region (PM-DevINE), and other programs by the North Eastern Council. These initiatives focus on improving connectivity and infrastructure in the region, contributing to its overall development.

  1. Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à Deux, has described the new sequel as ‘terrible’
    and ‘the worst film ever made’. 

    The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as
    Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley
    Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October
    4 release and flopped at the box office.

    Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the movie,
    said Todd Philips’s new film has ‘no plot’ and admitted he knew it was
    ‘going to bomb’ while filming. 

    Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said:
     ‘It’s the worst film ever made.

    ‘I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk
    like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of
    people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage!
    Nihilism! All these think pieces.

    ‘And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix
    and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it’s insane.’

    He continued: ‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at
    the Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of
    them and we’d hear this crap and I’d go, ‘What the f*** is this?’
    And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve
    ever seen.’

    ‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is
    the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’
    It’s not even hate-watchable. That’s how terrible it is.’

    Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel
    took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.

    The film debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend’s
    top spot, but less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.

    Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its
    cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie
    cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga
    joining the franchise.

    ‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that it was ‘100% as divisive as people are making it
    out to be. I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional
    sequel, and fully committed to the storytelling
    they presented. It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing
    aspects.’

    Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as
    a meta-exploration of the first film’s fandom and the musical elements were a
    lot of fun.’

    Despite the negative reviews a number of fans of the sequel
    took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd
    Phillips’ 2019 motion picture 

    One user marvelled that Joker 2 is ‘getting universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything
    marvel has done in years is expected.’

    It comes after lead star Lady Gaga was left ‘disappointed’ at the immense flood of negative reactions
    to Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer’s team now keen to quickly push out other projects to help distract from the
    furore over the film, insiders claim.

    Todd Phillips‘ sequel has bombed, raking in just under $40 million at
    the domestic box office, and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.

    Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack
    of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49, as the Joker – a role that won him the
    best actor Oscar in 2019 – in the wake of the standing ovation it received at the Venice Film Festival
    last month.

    ‘Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked that people don’t love it after
    the response it received from critics before it premiered,’
    a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. 

    ‘She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.’

    They added: ‘Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as
    they want to move on this from as quickly as possible.’

    claim

    But despite the lacklustre reception from fans,
    a second source claimed she is not letting it deter her from returning
    to the big screen, with the singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.

    ‘She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,’ they
    said. 

    ‘She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first film was
    such a success and Joaquin won an Oscar.

    ‘She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s
    next and final film. Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to audition. 

    ‘She’s going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a
    script is presented, it is a bucket list moment for her to be involved.’
