In the first meeting of the forum held in Agartala, Kumar said the reason which persuaded the Niti Aayog to be part of the council was the longing for fresh ideas.

"We want this forum beyond the routine thing, we are looking for fresh ideas. Think on the line to tap huge potential which this northeast region has. We need to supplement the northeast council by ideas, and focus on implementation," he said. -- ANI
