Addressing the review meeting, Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasised that scientific institutions should focus on showcasing transformational initiatives and measurable outcomes. He highlighted the Government’s sustained support for the science and technology sector through enhanced investments, promotion of public-private partnerships, and flagship initiatives such as the National Quantum Mission and the IndiaAI Mission.

The Minister called for greater collaboration among scientific institutions, IITs, universities, industry, medical institutes and state governments to translate research into field-level solutions. Appreciating the collaborative initiatives being undertaken by NECTAR and other institutions, he urged all organisations to work in a convergent mission mode aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and the Prime Minister’s development priorities for the North Eastern Region. He also stressed the importance of taking technology to the grassroots to improve livelihoods and generate employment, while reviewing the progress of the National Seismological Network, which has significantly strengthened earthquake monitoring across the seismically active Northeastern region.

Congratulating NECTAR and its partner institutions for their achievements, Dr. Singh said the initiatives reflect the Government of India's commitment to harnessing science and technology for inclusive development and improving the quality of life of people in the North Eastern Region
