SDG Conclave 2020 partnerships, cooperation and development of North Eastern States

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are now being used as the overarching
framework for development discourse, planning and action all over the world and India
has the satisfaction of being the harbinger of adoption and implementation process of this
framework - having championed critical social, economic and environmental parameters.
The North Eastern Region is one of the most demographically diverse regions in the country.
The socio-cultural diversity gives rise to multiple identities and world views. Such multiplicity
is very challenging, particularly, by virtue of increasing the risks of various kinds of exclusions.
On the contrary, it also provides enormous opportunities to learn and strengthen mutual
support among diverse communities towards achievement of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs).
The Northeast -SDG Conclave 2020 which focuses on “Partnerships, Cooperation and
Development of North-Eastern States” will be held in Assam from 24-26 February 2020
at the Assam Administrative Staff College (AASC), Guwahati bringing together all the
stakeholders in the region with the goal of identifying solutions as well as accelerators in
the implementation of SDGs.
