development of a culture of high technology in Assam
and the Northeast. In other words, this group seeks to
make people in Assam aware of the opportunities high

are in Assam or the Northeast and are interested in
computers and management, please join this group. If
you are originally from Assam or the Northeast and are a
computer professional anywhere in the world, please join
this group: Computer professionals in Assam would like
to know about your experience and learn from you. As of
