Imphal, August 17 2024:
The Draft NEC Vision 2047 has been withdrawn after chief minister N Biren urged DoNER minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and officials concerned for necessary corrections regarding a mistake that was found in information related to the tribal communities of North East region in the context of Manipur.
Under 'Chapter 3: Art, Culture and Natural Heritage' which mentions about the migration of ethnic tribes in NE region, the term "Kukis (Chin)" has been found to be falsely described as 'from the Chin State of Manipur' .
CM Biren personally communicated with union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and gave directions to the chief secretary Dr Vineet Joshi for necessary corrections.
The DoNER ministry promptly responded and the Draft NEC Vision 2047 has been now withdrawn for corrections.
A statement addressed to respective chief secretaries of the NE state by planning advisor Som Kamei dated August 17 stated that the zero/first draft of NEC Vision Plan 2047, shared on August 9 and 17 are hereby withdrawn.
