The Telegraph | Shillong, Oct. 17:
A two-day workshop, Northeast: Development Paradigms, beginning here tomorrow, will search for solutions to make the region more vibrant.
Organised by the Research Centre for Eastern and Northeastern Regional Studies, Calcutta, and supported by, among others, The Telegraph, Calcutta, the workshop will witness a galaxy of policy-makers, security experts, planners, and industrialists airing their views on development and security. It will be held on the premises of the North Eastern Council (NEC) here.
Union minister of state (independent charge), DoNER, Paban Singh Ghatowar, will inaugurate the workshop.
According to the approach paper to the workshop prepared by the research centre, “A combination of various factors, dating back to the British era, has made the Northeast a disturbed area with serious security problems. The only semblance of development available in the region was in the field of oil, gas and tea in both public and private sectors.”
Former Intelligence Bureau chief Shyamal Datta, former Assam governor Lt. Gen. (retd) S.K. Sinha, former chief of staff HQ Eastern Command Lt. Gen. (retd) J.R.
