For the same, a joint secretary from his Ministry will visit North Eastern states once in a month to oversee implementation of programmes and address the bottlenecks.
Further moving to shilling, he addressed the gathering at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Science (NEIGRIHMS), assuring them to take up the issue of the autonomy of the institute with the centre, to help it quickly progress and be at par with other autonomous bodies in the country
