The research paper has attempted to identify the reason for the under-development in NER (North-East Region) of India and how border trade point like Moreh can play an important role in the economic development of NER of India. Moreh in Manipur state is a border trade point since time immemorial. It shared border trade links with Myanmar. Myanmar along with its neighbouring sub-region like Bangladesh and Deep South China represent an under developed regional block. An Economic Planning for NER has to be addressed at the level of developing this regional block as a whole. India can use Look East, Act East policy as an opportunity for developing its NER by up gradation of infrastructure in border trade points which will increase the size of the economy and bring about prosperity and peace for the region as a whole. With this prospect in sight, research findings are evaluated and suggestions are presented.
