VISION

‘MOREH: A BORDER TRADE INTEGRATED TOWN AS A PRECURSOR FOR

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH EAST REGION AND A PROMOTER OF

TOURISM, SPECIFICALLY IN THE FIELDS OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH.’

BORDER TRADE TOWN: HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DEVELOPED AS A

TRADING HUB DUE TO THE PLANNED CONNECTIVITY OF THE REGION,

THE FAVORABLE TERRAIN, FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH MYANMAR AND

THE LOOK EAST POLICY.

PRECURSOR OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH EAST REGION:

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH EAST REGION SHALL BE CATALYZED

FOLLOWING CONCENTRATED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, ESTABLISHMENT OF

FORWARD AND BACKWARD ALLIED SERVICES AND INDUSTRY AND

ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY OF THE AREA WITHIN INDIA AND

INTERNATIONALLY.

PROMOTER OF TOURISM: ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY AND EASY ACCESS

SHALL PROMOTE TOURISM FROM SOUTH EAST ASIA SPECIFICALLY FOR

THE PURPOSES OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH. THIS WOULD IN TURN

BOOST THESE TWO SECTORS OF THE INDIAN ECONOMY. OTHER

CONVENTIONAL SECTORS OF TOURISM LIKE LEISURE TOURISM,

ADVENTURE TOURISM, CULTURAL, SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS TOURISM

AND NATURE TOURISM.

INTEGRATED TOWN: THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT MOREH IS

ENVISAGED TO BE INTEGRATED WITH THE NEW TOWNSHIP TO ENSURE A

COMPREHENSIVE, SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE PLAN, FACILITATE

COORDINATED INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND CHECK
