“…In north–eastern states there exist a gap between the knowledge and utilization of modern family planning methods; however, the rate of contraceptive prevalence is quite lower among the tribal women as they still prefer traditional methods (Mog, et al, 2020 ). Moreover, vast difference exists in the utilization pattern of maternal health care in rural and urban areas (Gogoi, 2014 ). These states also lag behind in the political representation of females in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies.…”

Gender equality and women empowerment have been on the top of the agenda globally. Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls has been mentioned by the United Nations in its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-5) as a target. Various efforts and initiatives have been taken at global, regional and local level to eliminate gender inequality. Women in India have been stereotyped and discriminated since ancient times due to the patriarchal mindset. Social evils such as sati, purdah system, female foeticide, female infanticide, dowry, domestic violence have been faced by women. Various constitutional and legal provisions have been framed to eliminate such evils. In contemporary times, women have become sensitised about their rights and have come a long way in terms of women empowerment. Various schemes have been launched by central and state governments for emancipation of women. However, the patriarchal mindset still exists and gender biasness is still experienced by women both in public and private space. The paper attempts to analyse the level of women empowerment in different states of India. The study is based on the secondary data collected from various government sources. An analysis of the reasons responsible for the trends has also been done. It has been found in the study that female literacy has a positive bearing on the health and decision-making of females. Also, government support in the from of infrastructure and schemes act as a catalyst in women empowerment. Women-centric organisations and Self Help organisations have promoted economic empowerment and decision-making of females.

“…A limited study has been performed reporting the association of PTB with maternal low hemoglobin levels during pregnancy and also claimed risk of low birth weight among PTB babies. 14 Thus, a preliminary study was conducted to determine the prevalence and correlate PTB with socioeconomic factors among the Meitei women of Manipur, Northeast India, to understand the population-specific PTB prognosis.…”

Background Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the world's leading health concerns, affecting both the mother and the children. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and socioeconomic factors associated with PTB among the Meitei women of Manipur. Materials and Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in postpartum Meitei women of Manipur. Participants were 126 postpartum women that gave birth to a singleton live-born infant and were classified as women giving birth before 37 weeks of gestation (PTB) and women giving birth at ≥37 weeks (term). Data were compared using univariate analysis, and the association of socioeconomic factors with PTB was determined through multivariate logistic regression using Statistical Package for Social Sciences 25 version software program, and statistical significance was taken at a p-value < 0.05. Results The overall prevalence of PTB is 23.01%, of which 13.79% are of extremely preterm. This study revealed a significant association of PTB with mother's occupation (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.40–14.26, p = 0.012), tobacco consumption during pregnancy (AOR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.01–8.33, p = 0.048), having family history of PTB (AOR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.09–9.04, p = 0.034), and early age at menarche (AOR = 4.26, 95% CI: 1.49–12.12, p = 0.007). Conclusion The study highlights the high prevalence of PTB and its association with various socioeconomic factors. Such community-specific studies should be performed to understand the differential risk factors of PTB to control premature death in under 5 years children and to promote women's reproductive health.

“…Guha and Mohapatra (2016) examined that the pattern of formal trade with the bordering nations has not been observed to be favourable for all the states of India’s NER. There has been a substantial increase in informal trade in the last 2 years, and formal bilateral trade between India and Myanmar has become almost negligible (Bezbaruah, 2007; Das, 2012; Gogoi, 2004; Taneja et al, 2019). Gogoi (2014) mentioned the emerging trends of regional cooperation and looking east can help in harnessing the comparative advantage of upliftment of international trade and economic growth of this region.…”

The purpose of this paper is to access the effectiveness of policy initiatives on the emerging trend of Indo‐ASEAN trade by answering the critical question of whether the implementation of the Look East Policy (LEP)/Act East Policy (AEP) influences the growth trends and trade complementarities in India’s trade with the ASEAN countries for the period 1990–2018? The result reveals that both import and export increased in India during the AEP period, but unlike the LEP period, AEP period shows negative growth. It is found that India’s exports and imports are intense with ASEANs compared with its trading pattern in the rest of the world. It can also be observed that coefficient of time dummy has a positive significant relationship with India’s bilateral export of merchandized product to ASEAN countries. The study observes five breaks on the growth of export, import and total trade, spread over three decades. Further, the growth and volume of trade was found to be highest via Land Custom Stations (LCS) Moreh amongst all LCS of northeastern states during the period of AEP.
