In a statement, FEGOCTA said that it is matter of pride for the people of Manipur and North East India that Dr Ranjan has been entrusted important responsibilities in the field of education and foreign policy.

FEGOCTA as an academic and intellectual group would be most grateful to provide inputs in the formulation and implementation of national higher education policies.

FEGOCTA sincerely hopes that there will be positive transformation in education sector particularly in North East India and Manipur, it said and observed that Dr Ranjan's long career and experiences in the field of higher education will be a great help in his new responsibility and future endeavours.

Education and foreign policy are the critical areas in the globalised era for the North East India which is facing challenges in education sector and foreign relations, the FEGOCTA statement said.

As the region is almost surrounded by Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Bhutan and Nepal there is urgent need to resolve old issues and improve relations with the neighbouring countries as well as ASEAN countries, FEGOCTA said, while also congratulating Sarbananda Sonowal and Kiren Rijiju on their appointments as the union cabinet ministers.

It is expected that inputs and suggestions from the governments and people of the North East will be taken more seriously.

It is hoped that some qualitative changes will take place in the life of the people, politics and governance in the region, the statement added.
