Ranjit Borthakur stated “This is going to be another challenge for me, I have served almost 35 years in Indian Army and had faced many challenging situations, defence crisis at the border areas, security threat by external forces etc. But this time my job would be more of an educationist, social activist and thus bringing the backward rural people of North East into light of education”. He further stated “I always wanted to work towards making a successful strategic planning for human resource development in the North East Region and for that matter USTM and the institutions running under ERDF are contributing a lot towards that end. My association with ERD Foundation would obviously help me involve more actively in this process”.
