New Delhi: The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday approved the proposal for the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialisation Scheme, 2024 (UNNATI-2024) for a period of 10 years from the date of notification, along with 8 years for committed liabilities at a total cost of Rs 10,037 crore, to boost development and create jobs in the northeastern states.
