The ‘Northeast Region Vision 2020’ Document was released by

A regional ‘Vision’ document — a long-term development framework for a specific region — is authored and released by the Union Ministry that holds the nodal administrative charge for that region, working with the region’s apex coordinating body.

For the north-eastern states, that nodal charge lies with the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (M-DoNER), set up in 2001. M-DoNER, together with the North Eastern Council (NEC), prepared the ‘North Eastern Region Vision 2020’ document — targeting roughly Rs. 13.3 lakh crore of additional investment in the region between 2007-08 and 2019-20 to bring NER growth at par with the national average — and it was formally released in July 2008.

• TTAADC (Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council) is a Sixth-Schedule local self-governance body that administers tribal areas within Tripura — a state-level council, not a Union Ministry with an NER-wide development mandate.

• The Ministry of External Affairs handles India’s foreign relations and diplomacy; it carries no domestic charge over regional development in the north-eastern states.

• NEDFi (North Eastern Development Finance Corporation) is a public financial institution that extends project loans and equity in the region; it finances development but does not itself author the region’s central vision/policy document.

Since M-DoNER is the nodal ministry that actually prepared and released the Vision 2020 framework, it is the correct choice among the options offered.
