Testimonials

The Northeast Green Summit has been able to generate a sea of knowledge in course of its six editions and it was an educative experience for me to be participating at the Summit.

ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY Union Minister of State, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change

The Northeast Green Summit, which was initiated few years back, is an initiative that is so very important for a region like Northeast India. It’s the largest of its kind in the Northeast and is an example that should be scaled up for the sake of not only Northeast but the whole world.

ATUL BAGAI Head, India office, United Nations Environment Programme

I am thankful to the organisers for this wonderful initiative - in fact, I am personally associated with this Summit since its inception as our goals are similar. My forest is one of the biggest houses where all animals can live. If 700 crore people plant one tree each every day, than it will help to change the climate conditions, otherwise we will have to face trouble in the future.

PADMASHRI JADAV PAYENG Forest Man of India

It’s a great honour and I felt very privileged to have participated in the first ever Northeast Green Summit. I must thank the organisers as they have been working very positively since the inception of the idea of this Summit.

SHRI NAVEEN VERMA, IAS (RTD) Former Secretary, Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Govt. of India

The Northeast Green Summit is a wonderful experience. There is no alternative to preserving the gifts of nature in leading healthy, wealthy & joyful lives. The summit has conveyed the same message to us.

A.K.M.HARUNER RASHID FCS Registrar and Secretary, Bangladesh Board of Unani and Ayurvedic Systems of Medicine

Northeast Green Summit is doing a yeoman service to sustainable and equitable development of the ecologically sensitive region. The introspection and heightened consciousness which the summit is creating towards a holistic development is truly note worthy.
