Signing Memorandum of Understanding with North East Centre for Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR)

In a landmark development, our foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the North East Centre for Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR). This collaboration aims to leverage technology and innovative solutions to address the unique challenges faced by communities in the North Eastern region of India. The MoU signing ceremony was held at Shillong, attended by senior officials from both organizations, including Shri Ajitkumar Varma, CEO of our foundation, and Dr. Arunkumar Sharma, Director General of NECTAR. The agreement outlines several key areas of cooperation, including the deployment of sustainable technologies, capacity building, and the promotion of local innovations to enhance socio-economic development. One of the primary focuses of this collaboration is the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices. By integrating modern technology with traditional farming methods, the partnership aims to boost agricultural productivity and income for farmers in the region. This includes the introduction of precision farming techniques, improved irrigation systems, and access to real-time market data through mobile applications. Another significant aspect of the MoU is the development of renewable energy solutions. NECTAR's expertise in clean energy technologies will be harnessed to provide reliable and affordable energy sources to remote communities, reducing their dependence on non-renewable resources and improving their quality of life. Solar energy projects, in particular, will be prioritized to ensure uninterrupted power supply for household and community use. Capacity building and skill development form a critical component of this collaboration. Joint training programs and workshops will be conducted to equip local communities with the necessary skills to adopt and manage new technologies. These initiatives will also focus on enhancing entrepreneurship and creating job opportunities, particularly for the youth and women in the region. The partnership will also explore innovative solutions for water management, healthcare, and education. By deploying cutting-edge technologies and fostering local innovations, the collaboration aims to create a sustainable and inclusive development model for the North Eastern region.
