- It is an autonomous organisation, set up under the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India is the ‘one-stop shop’ for technological support to the North East people.
- NECTAR is providing technological applications and scientific support to the farmers, entrepreneurs, or any organisation associated with rural corporation, construction, or any other industry in North East, where technology intervention and technical support are needed.
Its establishment
- NECTAR was formed in the year 2012, with the merger of erstwhile National Mission on Bamboo Applications (NMBA) and Mission on Geospatial Application (MGA).
- It is headquartered in Shillong, Meghalaya.
Its mandate
- Overall development: NECTAR has the mandate of equitable and inclusive social and economic development of the NER. NECTAR has created linkages between the farmers and markets of metro cities.
- Agro Industries: The areas in which NECTAR has played flagship roles include agro and food processing, renewable energy source bamboo applications like construction and structural applications, composites and wood substitutes, bamboo for energy, bamboo in industrial products, bamboo-planting material, skill development, and employment generation.
- Security: NECTAR is also working for the applications to internal security, watershed analysis, development of fixed wing micro unmanned aerial vehicles, mapping of tsunami vulnerable areas, and Brahmaputra River embankment mapping and erosion study.
Bamboo Sector:

Bamboo-based technologies with a green material approach
- NECTAR is working on bamboo-based construction and structural applications with a green material approach.
- Huge industrial applications of bamboo have been identified.
- Under this effort, support is being provided to the projects related to structural engineering and in development of bamboo composites by utilizing the natural higher tensile strength and a weight-to-strength ratio of the material.
- In the areas of the development of technologies related to wood substitutes and composites, various relief and rehabilitation projects using bamboo composite material and prefabricated housing units have been initiated.
- Gasifiers based on bamboo have been developed to produce clean and renewable electricity, and a range of valuable by-products such as high-grade charcoal has also been developed.
Schemes of technology solutions for employment generation:
- The Centre is offering two major schemes to NER: TOSS – Technology Outreach and Service Scheme and BAANS – Bamboo Applications and Support Scheme.
- The schemes are targeted for building and expanding partnerships with people, communities, local bodies, NGOs, SHGs and research and technology institutions.
- TOSS is an umbrella scheme of NECTAR to establish linkages with individuals and institutions to deliver technology solutions to the NER which have clear potential to generate social or economic growth in the region.
Conclusion
- NECTAR is playing an important role in the development of NER.
- It is very important to connect the technologies with common people, various organizations, entrepreneurs, and farmers so that the mandate of that technology can be proved.
- People from the NER should take advantage of the technologies developed and supported by NECTAR.
- Successful case studies of NECTAR must be shared at the Krishi Vigyan Kendras of NER, NGOs, various community centres, innovation centres, entrepreneurial organisations, colleges and universities so that every section of the NER can be benefited with the technological applications.
