In addition, senior Officers of the Ministry conduct regular review meetings with state governments and go for field visits for monitoring the progress of the projects. Ministry has designated Nodal Officers and Chief Nodal Officers for each NER State for better coordination with State Governments and to facilitate execution of the projects in respective states.
