He said the North East region has the potential to be at par with the rest of the country and that the people must work towards achieving this goal.
Stating that the region is blessed with abundant natural resources, he stressed that educational institutions need to play an important role to tap these resources.
“Skill courses in line with the need of the region should be introduced to benefit students and North East. Unless North East develops India will not develop,” he added.
