On October 12, Scindia will arrive in Aizawl and proceed to Tuivamit, where he is scheduled to inaugurate development projects and lay foundation stones for new initiatives. The programmes are aimed at supporting development activities in the state.

The Union Minister will subsequently visit Mizoram University to interact with students, including participants of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region’s (MDoNER) Ashtalakshmi Darshan programme. The interaction is expected to provide a platform for discussions on educational opportunities, youth aspirations and development prospects in the Northeastern region.

On October 13, Scindia will return to Mizoram University to inaugurate the North East Bankers’ Conclave 3.0 and deliver its keynote address.

The conclave will bring together stakeholders from the banking sector to deliberate on ways to improve access to credit, expand financial inclusion and strengthen institutional support for economic activities across the Northeast.

Banking institutions are expected to play an important role in facilitating credit for entrepreneurs, small businesses and other economic stakeholders, particularly in regions where access to formal financial services remains a key development priority.

The visit forms part of the Centre’s engagement with Northeastern states on development initiatives, infrastructure expansion and economic opportunities. The scheduled programmes in Mizoram will bring together government representatives, students and financial sector stakeholders to discuss priorities for the state and the wider region.
