Newsletter of North East India Research Forum
 
N. E. Quest; Volume 3, Issue 3, October 2009
3 It is my great pleasure to be the volunteer editor of the NE Quest October (2009) issue. At the outset, I owe my thankfulness to all the editorial team membersas well as the forum members who have contributed to make the issue a successfulrealization. In this editorial I want to express some of my thoughts which are in mymind for quite sometime. It is always blamed governments for the slow industrialgrowth/ development of the north eastern region even though it has vast naturalresources. But in my view, we have everything but lack of only good compatibilityamong the great personalities/ organizations of the region. All north eastern state hasone central university each. North East India have IITG, NITs, research institutes of CSIR, DST, DBT, ISRO, medical institute like AIIMS (NEIGRIHMS), managementinstitute like IIM, besides state universities and other academic/ researchorganizations. So we are not in a position to say that we do not have enough humanresource or platform, but the question is how we are working for the development of the greater north eastern region.If we want to see a developed north east India in very near future, it is the righttime to work together dedicatedly. To initialize it, the senior personalities of wellestablished organizations of north east might forward their hands together for better development of the region. As an example, persons from academia/ researchorganization as well as industry might work together along with government for thedevelopment of newer industries/organizations in the region. As north east region of India has most of the natural resources which can prosper it if the resources availablecould be properly utilized and exploited. Just to mention, it has huge bank of  petroleum oil, coal, platinum, and many medicinally important plants. As a beginning,if north east could work for setting up organizations/industries mainly based oninformation technology and pharmaceuticals, it might bring back numerous brains of this region who are working presently in different parts of the globe. The recentlyestablished Biotech Park at Guwahati will definitely boost the region and serve as a pathfinder. We hope many more such organizations will flourish the north east in thenear future. The improvement of any region is only possible if the people take utmostcare to industrially develop such areas.At last I wish North East India Research Forum a grand success and become platform for such healthy scientific discussion in the days to come. I thank Dr. A.Adhikari for his great idea of creation of such a nice forum. Recently we have startedforum cells in various universities and colleges of north east. Let us hope and wishthat our forum be a platform for excellent scientific discussion and popularization of science among common peoples. Also I would like to thank all the members andeditorial board members for their dedication to work together for the newsletter. Wewould specially like to thank Mr. Anirban (Panacea Studio, Pune) who has beendesigning the cover page of NE Quest from the inception of the newsletter. Manygreetings to all!!Pankaj Bharali
