Kohima, Mar 29 (UNI) Nagaland Governor Shyamal Datta has urged the corporate and financial sector to tap the rich natural resources of the North East with a view to promote agriculture and agri-business.

He asked them to be sensitive towards the sentiments of people and environment of the region.

Addressing as the chief guest at the plenary session on 'North East Emerging Horizons in Agribusiness' in the ongoing NE Agri Expo at Dimapur last evening, Mr Datta said he was happy to see the big names present in the meet and hoped that market forces smelt the potential in the region.

While lamenting that the agri sector was not given due priority in the past even by North Eastern Council (NEC) and Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), Mr Datta appreciated the attention towards the agri sector of this region.

The Governor cautioned that the new relationship could thrive only if there was synergy between profit driven commercial urge of investors and ecological sensitivity towards the unique bio-diversity of the region.
