In this context , he informed that despite vast resources, this region is facing severe shortage of power and hence a complete roadmap is essential for giving proper direction in this regard. Citing an example ,Sarma said that Assam is famous for abundance of hydrocarbon ,but due to lack of initiative ,it is yet be tapped ! so far. “We will cover entire energy sectors in the region which would help private parties to invest in the region”, he added.

The summit was attended by several leading experts from power companies and institutions.
