"Brain-Storming Conclave on Atma Nirbhar North East through S&T Interventions" | December 21 - 22 , 2021 | Cotton University, Guwahati

As you are aware, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) had collaborated with the North East Centre for Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR) and Vijnana Bharati (VIBHA) to bring about inclusive development in the Northeast region (NER) of the country, through S&T technologies developed by R&D organizations and accelerating their outreach for fast-tracking livelihood opportunities. In this direction, UBA-NECTAR-VIBHA organized a brainstorming workshop entitled “Transforming Meghalaya State through Science and Technology Interventions” during April 9-10, 2021 at Shillong, Meghalaya with the objective of connecting technology providers with technology seekers in the Northeast region, and ensuring knowledge exchange and cross-learning among different stakeholders. The two day event comprised a techno-fair - a display and demonstration of technologies relevant for implementation in the NER.

For RCIs and PIs, especially those based out of Northeast, we encourage organizing exposure visits to the techno-fair and institutional-level activities/field-studies based on it with a view of inculcating interest and enthusiasm in students towards S&T based rural interventions.
