The aim of a vision document is to establish the high-level purpose supported by a clear statement of the issues and to<br />
identify possible solutions with implementation plan. I am glad the <strong>Hydrocarbon</strong> <strong>Vision</strong> <strong>2030</strong> for North East India<br />
covers all of these and sets a clear roadmap. Apart from encapsulating the aspirations for the region, the document<br />
touches upon all aspects of the hydrocarbon value chain to leverage the potential in the region and at the same time<br />
redirect efforts to generate economic and social development.<br />
Also, while stating action plan of the hydrocarbon segment in NER, the intention has been to identify the specific<br />
workable measures across the value chain which could be addressed in a systematic manner preferably over the short<br />
term and in some cases over the medium to long term. The solutions proposed in the document have also been<br />
deliberated in detail to assess the achievability on the ground so that we can set out with a well-defined roadmap that<br />
allows us to take stock of the progress made along the way.<br />
As the famous Chinese proverb says “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”; I firmly believe that this<br />
<strong>Vision</strong> <strong>2030</strong> document is a step that would set in motion the journey of developing the hydrocarbon sector in NER<br />
towards realization of the potential of this region. I am also hopeful that this development effort for NER would go a long<br />
way towards making a contribution towards the overall growth and development objective of our country. And I must<br />
admit that the journey has only begun. Now it will call for concentrated efforts on all accounts and prompt action to<br />
bring about the change we all wish to see.<br />
I am hopeful the results of this <strong>Vision</strong> formulation will generate benefits on all accounts – fuel access, attracting<br />
investments & industries, generating employment, improving trade with SAARC and most importantly welfare of local<br />
people. I look forward to wholehearted support of all stakeholders to achieve these.<br />
