NATIONAL SEMINAR 9436354726 THE SEMINAR Any venture, policy, service or even a blip of idea needs to be assessed from various vantage points, Commerce being one of the protuberant dimensions. As Henry Ford puts it, one of the most important questions to be addressed - Is it needed? Is it practical? Is it commercial? The seminar aims to have erudite expositions and analysis on various spheres of Commerce relating to the country in general and the North East Region in particular. The challenges to ensuring peace and progress in the NE Region are formidable. The gap between the region and the rest of the country in terms of various developmental outcomes, productivities and capacities of people and institutions is large and growing, and has to be bridged. Given the complexity of the task, augmenting investment to accelerate growth in the region is only a part of the story. The successful transformation of investments into developmental outcomes requires a variety of strategic initiatives. The National Seminar is expected to debate and propose such strategic initiatives for the development planners, policy makers, business houses and other stakeholders.
