Human Development covers three dimensions of human welfare: income, education and health; it is a process of enlarging people's choices which centers the people's welfare in its analysis. The United Nation has been publishing the human development report since 1990, the government of India and some North Eastern states too published their own reports over the years. The present paper is a humble attempt to analyse the present status of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland by reviewing the respective state human development reports. Review of the human development reports show that there is great disparity among the states as well as with the mainland India. Communication bottleneck, poor infrastructure, isolation and insurgency may be considered as the major reasons for the present state of affairs of the North East India. Poor economic growth has always been the hallmark; if proper steps are not taken the region may slip into further isolation and subsequent marginalization.
