Driving Conversations and Collaborations

Conclaves like these bring people and organisations together around the development needs of the region. Creating such a platform for CSR, NGOs and other stakeholders is very important for the North East. We need more such conversations and collaborations to keep the momentum going and work together for the region.

Sharing Ideas and Understanding Realities

The North East Development Conclave provides a useful platform for bringing together people from different parts of the development ecosystem. The interaction between NGOs, CSR professionals and academia creates an opportunity to share ideas, understand ground realities and explore more meaningful ways of working together.

A Platform for Learning and Connection

It was a very helpful and enriching experience to be part of the North East Development Conclave. The sessions and interactions gave us an opportunity to learn from people working across different areas and understand new perspectives. Platforms like NEDC are important for NGOs because they help us connect, learn and look at our work in a more structured way.

Bridging the Gap Between Corporate and Academia

NEDC creates an important space for dialogue between the development sector, academia, CSR and civil society. Such platforms help bridge the gap between corporate and academic perspectives and, more importantly, create opportunities for people to learn from each other and build meaningful collaborations.

Building Capacity and Preparedness

Platforms like the North East Development Conclave are important for bringing NGOs and CSR stakeholders together. Continued capacity building, dialogue and collaboration can help organisations become better prepared for partnerships and create stronger impact. I look forward to seeing more such initiatives and collaborations in the region.
