Government’s Approach to Tackle Left-Wing Terrorism
The Government of India has adopted a holistic approach to address the LWE insurgency. This approach is built around simultaneous implementation of a security agenda, developmental activities and promotion of good governance.
The National Policy and Action Plan to address LWE problem, formulated by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2014, essentially incorporates four elements - an integrated multi-pronged strategy comprising security related measures; development related initiatives, ensuring rights and entitlement related measures, and management of public perception.
Under the plan, the Central Government has been implementing various flagship developmental schemes in coordination with the affected state governments.
