Why the theme?Being the students of IIT Guwahati for more than 2 years now, hailing from distinct lIndia, we realized there is a fundamental difference in government actions, infrastr

public sentiments of North-East and rest of India.

Even having vast natural resources, apt human resources and more than enough fucenter (highest per capita investment by the Centre, averaging INR 2,574.98, againsaverage of INR 683.95) there is still need to realize the true potential of North-East wverified by statistics shown in following slides.

Rampant power cuts, poor transportation and connectivity with the rest of India, unstates having more than 80% literacy rates, lack of faith in govt. and prevalent feelincutting across all sections of society, make us believe that this theme deserves the mattention among the 14 national challenges raised in the competition.
