Great to see NITs in the Northeast getting their due recognition. Developing a strong MSME sector in states like Arunachal can create local jobs and reduce regional disparities. The 5G lab is a forward-thinking step!

While the speech is inspiring, I hope the government and industry also create the actual ecosystem for these graduates. We need more R&D funding and startup support in the region to retain this talent. Words must be followed by action.
