The eight states of North East have not been as undetectable on the world map of BIZ Experiencesship as many anticipate after all.

Recently, the region's first small bank, North East Small Finance bank (NESFB) started its services whereas Rashtriya Gramin Vikas Nidhi (North East) Microfinance Limited also received the Small Finance Bank License from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
