• It will be implemented by Ministry of DoNER through North Eastern Council or Central Ministries/ agencies.

• There are other MDoNER Schemes for the development of North Eastern Region. The average size of projects under other MDoNER Schemes is about Rs.12 crore only. 
• PM-DevINE will provide support to infrastructure and social development projects which may be larger in size and will also provide an end-to-end development solution instead of isolated projects. 

• PM-DevINE, was announced in the Union Budget 2022-23 to address development gaps in the North Eastern Region (NER).  
• The justification for announcement of PM-DevINE is that the parameters of NE States in respect of Basic Minimum Services (BMS) are well below the national average and there are critical development gaps as per the BER District Sustainable Development Goad (SDG) Index 2021-22 prepared by NITI Aayog, UNDP and MDoNER. 
• The new Scheme, PM-DevINE was announced to address these BMS shortfalls and development gaps.
