What is Neighborhood First Policy of India? Explain its success and failures.

India’s Neighborhood First Policy is a diplomatic initiative introduced to prioritize relationships with India’s neighboring countries. The policy aims to improve India’s regional influence by fostering strong political, economic, and strategic partnerships with countries in its immediate vicinity. The objective is to create a stable and peaceful environment, promote trade, address security concerns, and maintain regional cooperation in various sectors like infrastructure, connectivity, and energy. India’s strategic position in South Asia is critical to its foreign policy goals, and the Neighborhood First Policy reflects its intent to be a dominant force in the region, ensuring that its neighborhood remains conducive to its broader aspirations on the global stage.

### Evolution and Objectives of the Neighborhood First Policy

The concept of a "Neighborhood First" policy can be traced back to India's foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took office in May 2014. One of the first acts of the Modi government was to invite the heads of state or government from all South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries to his swearing-in ceremony, signaling a clear intent to strengthen ties with neighbors. This act laid the groundwork for a broader strategy of prioritizing regional relationships, a shift from the past where some neighbors felt sidelined.
