NITI Aayog will convene the 3rd Regional Dialogue under its State Support Mission on February 3, 2026, in Agartala, Tripura. The event is being organized in collaboration with the Government of Tripura and the Tripura Institution for Transformation (TIFT).

The regional dialogue will bring together senior officers from 14 Eastern and North-Eastern States, providing a platform for in-depth discussions on cooperative federalism, best practices in governance, and strategies for state-led socio-economic transformation. 

The dialogue aims to strengthen inter-state collaboration and promote the exchange of innovative policy approaches tailored to regional priorities.

Key sessions will focus on enhancing institutional capacities, accelerating development outcomes, and aligning state initiatives with national development goals. Participants are expected to share successful models, address implementation challenges, and identify opportunities for collaborative action across states.

The State Support Mission of NITI Aayog seeks to provide targeted policy and technical support to states, fostering a more responsive and inclusive development ecosystem. Hosting the dialogue in Agartala underscores the growing role of the North-Eastern region in India’s development narrative and reflects NITI Aayog’s commitment to decentralized and participatory governance.

The outcomes of the dialogue are expected to inform future policy interventions and strengthen partnerships between the Centre and States.
