Hi Mayur:
You took the easy road of following Rajen. I was hoping you would
do a whole lot better. But as long as you did, and assuming that is
the best we have to go with for the moment, let us look at Rajen's,
and now yours too, problem statement:
1) The North East
India is under developed compared to the rest of the country and
compared to its natural resources. Within the North East, Assam is
even lagging behind in development compared to the other states in the
North East.
2) Compared to the
rest of the country, the Assam has the problem of
heaviest infiltration of illegal immigration which has been going
one since 1930s.
3) Compared to the
rest of the country, North East has the highest level of Corruption.
Assam may be the worst.
*** First off, they are not problem statements. They are
descriptions of SYMPTOMS, arising out of certain PROBLEMS which would
require fixing to make Assam the state of your ideals.
Therefore, you all still need to find what the PROBLEMs are, and
how your solution concept does or is expected to address the
problems.
You can take one issue at a time. And take your time. I will be
looking forward to learning a whole lot.
Best.
