The Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar addressed the prestigious Annual Meeting of the Academic Council of the United Nations System (ACUNS) and delivered the keynote speech, titled "The Role of Universities in the Global South for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)". In his landmark discourse, Dr. Raj Kumar outlined how critical it was to achieve the ambitious Agenda 2030 in the remaining six years and how important it is for all stakeholders, governments and corporations to undertake strategic policies and actions to contribute directly to the fulfilment of the SDGs and solve pressing global issues. "It is essential that knowledge production and distribution, innovation, cutting-edge research, interactive learning, capacity building are enhanced for human development and universities and other higher education institutions can be a key platform to realise the fruitful conclusion of these important and demanding tasks," he said.
 
Professor (Dr.) Kumar detailed the critical steps needed and said, "Universities in India and the Global South can contribute to the achievement of all the 17 SDGs in 10 main points. The primary role of universities is to empower students to become change-makers by embedding relevant themes and challenges within the curricula while focusing on experiential learning, clinical programmes, capstone projects, and community level engagement. To break the vicious cycle of poverty, it is essential to provide financial aid and scholarships, promote philanthropy, and provide policy recommendations to the government to invest in public education. To ensure equality for all, institutions have the dual responsibility to be microcosms of equal opportunity, fair practice, and an inclusive centre of learning as well as workplace. Universities contribute to achieving the goal of good health and well-being through generation of knowledge and scholarship on healthcare, and raising awareness through community engagement."
 
"Furthermore, to take action towards preservation of life on earth and climate change, universities should invest in research on environment and engage with indigenous cultures about sustainable practices, and act as change agents by reducing carbon footprint and creating sanctuaries within campuses for biodiversity preservation. Universities can nurture individual consciousness towards sustainability through curriculum, research agendas, sustainable infrastructure, campus engagement, public institutional engagement, and institutional environmental footprint. To work towards the goal of clean water and food security, universities must utilize their maximum potential to positively impact public policy, and improve water management and food security practices within their own premises. For sustainable economic growth of people and industries, universities need to design dynamic curriculum relevant to market changes, collaborate with industries, and act as incubators for innovation and entrepreneurship. To advocate for peace and justice, educational centres must uphold academic freedom and objectively portray diverse perspectives and truths without external interference or censorship to inculcate awareness within the social and political psyche of the people. To work towards partnership especially, South-South Cooperation, universities can create consortiums, research networks, address common challenges, promote cultural exchange, and influence policy change," Professor (Dr.) Kumar said.
 
The 2024 ACUNS Annual Meeting coincided with the release of the JGU Sustainable Development Report, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive attempt to demonstrate how an university itself through its educational activities, research, management, opening jobs, providing equal opportunities in recruitment, establishing and maintaining health standards, delivery of public service, support for local communities, building gender awareness, adopting environmental protection policies both on campus and beyond and other sustainable activities can directly and effectively contribute to the achievement of various specific SDGs. 
 
The JGU Sustainable Development Report was presented to the outgoing President of ACUNS Prof. Lise Howard of Georgetown University and to the incoming President Dr. Franz Baumann, to the two co-hosts of the 2024 ACUNS Annual Meeting – Prof. Tchilidzi Marwala, Rector of the United Nations University in Tokyo, and Prof. Atsuko Kawakita, Vice Dean of International Affairs, University of Tokyo and to tens of professors, researchers, activists and other participants at the 2024 ACUNS Annual Meeting.
 
O.P. Jindal Global University was represented by 15 faculty members from different schools at the ACUNS Annual Meeting who also presented their latest research in various panels.  Prof. Dr. Vesselin Popovski, Vice Dean of Jindal Global Law School, current Chair of the ACUNS Best Dissertation Award Committee, presented the 2024 Best Dissertation Awards to the two winners Rebecca Yemo (University of Massachusetts) and Johannes Scherzinger (University of Zurich).

The Northeast Distributors Association (NEDA) held its 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Guwahati recently at Hotel Daaysco Oley Allo, Guwahati. This significant event saw the participation of 150 delegates from across the northeast underscoring NEDA's vital role in the region's robust FMCG industry.
 
Under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Vijay Kumar Gupta, President; Shri Poonam Kr. Taneja, General Secretary; Shri Pradip Kr. Das, Working President; Shri Prakash Gupta, Chairman of the Grievances Committee; and Shri Amit Maloo, Treasurer, NEDA continues to be a formidable force in the FMCG sector.
 
Representatives from various districts and states attended, including Wholesale General Merchants Association (Guwahati), Kokrajhar Distributors Association, Bongaigaon Distributors Association, Dhubri Distributors Association, Nalbari Distributors Association, Nagaon Distributors Association, Hojai Distributors Association, North Assam Distributors Association (Tezpur), B. Chariali Distributors Association, Hailakandi Distributors Association, Cachar Distributors Association, Northeast Distributors Association - Manipur, Golaghat Distributors Association, Jorhat Distributors Association, Tinsukia Distributors Association, East Karbi Anglong Distributors Association, Lumding Distributors Association, Tripura Distributors Association, Mizoram Distributors Association and Meghalaya Distributors Association.
 
Dr. Vijay Kumar Gupta inaugurated the meeting with an inspiring speech, providing a realistic overview of the current FMCG scenario and emphasizing the need for distributors to adapt to rapid changes in trade compliance. "Conducting a SWOT analysis in your daily trade activities will create opportunities for growth and keep you updated on major changes," he advised. Dr. Gupta highlighted that the FMCG market in Northeast India, valued at approximately INR 10,000 crores and growing at an annual rate of 15%, contributes nearly 5% of the total FMCG sales in India. "We are here to build, reshape, and recreate the fast-paced growth of the FMCG industry," he added.
 
Addressing the challenges posed by recent policy changes from multinational and domestic FMCG companies, General Secretary Shri Poonam Kr. Taneja expressed concern over the economic impact on distributors. "Decades of distributors' hard work and dedication are being undermined by these policy changes, with no compensation or time frame given to recover from losses," he stated. The board and delegates proposed a strong resolution to counter these unfair practices.
 
The introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) has brought numerous notices to FMCG traders, many of which are deemed unjustifiable. To address this issue, NEDA organized a dedicated GST session led by a renowned Chartered Accountant. The session covered crucial aspects of different GST notices and provided guidance on how to handle and close them.
 
The AGM concluded with awards recognizing outstanding performance. The recipients were:
 
  • Best District: Cachar District Distributors Association, Silchar
  • Best Executive Member: Mr. Ajoy Saha, Tripura Distributors Association
  • Active Star Member: Mr. Bhagawati Prasad Bajaj, Dhubri Distributors Association
  • Best District President: Mr. Shikhar Chand Parakh, Bongaigaon Distributors Association
  • Best District Secretary: Mr. Rajendra Kr. Bhati, North Assam Distributors Association, Tezpur
 
NEDA's 21st AGM reaffirmed the association's pivotal role in the FMCG sector of Northeast India and set a formidable tone for the future. Under Dr. Vijay Kr. Gupta's inspiring leadership, NEDA remains a beacon of strength and resilience, swiftly adapting to the ever-evolving industry landscape.

For FMCG companies, this serves as a reminder: that the Northeast market is a powerhouse driven by dedicated distributors and dealers who will no longer tolerate unjust practices. The robust resolutions and proactive measures discussed at this AGM highlight a united front ready to challenge and change policies that threaten their livelihoods and the ethical fabric of the trade.
 
NEDA members are encouraged to embrace change, leverage shared knowledge, and continue to innovate, driving the sector forward and ensuring sustained growth and success. This AGM marks a turning point—a call to action for every distributor and dealer to stand strong, stay informed, and be champions of a fair and thriving FMCG market in Northeast India. With determination and unity, success is not just a possibility; it is an inevitability.
