WHY SHALE GAS???

BIOENERGY SUBSTITUTION

WHAT WE HAVE & WHERE WE CAN GO

BANGLADESH MAYBE...

CULTURE ATTRACTS

CONCLUSION

• Rich in mineral and water resources Facilitates power generation Makes industrialisation easier Boost to agriculture Alternative mode of cheap passenger and cargo

transport

• Fertile Soils

• Mountainous terrain Facilitates generation of hydel power Non-extreme climatic conditions Gives a boost to cultivation of valuable cash crops such

as tea High literacy

Great potential for tourism.

• Many north east zones Rich in natural gas –

opportunity for power commercialization. • Enhancement through boost to roaring

manufacturing sector. Bangladeshi markets and FDI from Bangladesh Access to markets in India (outside North Eastern

India) through -- NEPAL BANGLADESH CHINA & OTHER NORTH EAST COUNTRIES.

North-east West Bengal Jharkhand (Agro-feedstocks available) Rice husk, Wood chips and Sugar cane.

Approximate cost range of feedstocks

Potential for biomass power (MW) Approxmiate 100

increasing gap between demand and supply of conventional energy resources.

exploration of unconventional energy sources. possibility of tapping unconventional resources

like methane hydrates, oil shale, coal bed methane (CBM), and shale gas to meet India's burgeoning domestic energy demand.

identified areas in the north-east which have potential for shale oil.

has prognosticated CBM resources, approximately 4.6 TCM.

54% tea produce comes from north east.

Energy requirement high

Increasing price of fossil

Biomass substitution to fossil fuels used

in tea industries

to reduce cost

increase production

reduce pollution.

HIGH potential for the expansion of horticulture

and plantation crops -- requires stimulation

through market access .

Cultural similarity a favourable factor for trade

with and investment and tourists from

neighbouring countries.

literacy rate of 73.2 percent as against 63.4

resource.

Access for goods by land very difficult

•Connected to the rest of India by a 22 km

wide stretch of land called the chicken’s

neck

•Goods have to travel parallel to Bangladeshi

border and enter through the chicken’s neck

– high transportation costs

•Bangladesh can provide easier connectivity

for North East India to the rest of India and

through Chittagong Port to the rest of the

world

• Provision of connectivity through Bangladesh makes travel to rest of India much shorter

•Pre-partition journey from Kolkata to Agartala barely 360 km; now as much as 1680 km

Bangladesh is a potentially easy source of connectivity to the rest of the world

•Agartala is barely 248 kms from Chittagong

•All other N.E. capitals between 600 and 900 km

• Win-win situation for both sides – easier trade for North East and revenues for Bangladesh

WHAT ATTRACTS WILL GAIN. CULTURE & KNOWLEGDE OF MEDICINES

PERTAINING TO NORTH EAST has always fascinated not just INDIA but THE WORLD.

GOVERNMENT need to come out with schemes providing exposure to the culture & knowledge of THE NORTH EAST.

Because EXPOSURE GIVES MATURITY MATURITY REAPS FRUITS.

North East, especially Tripura and Bangladesh enjoy a huge scope for mutually beneficial trade, investment and other forms of regional cooperation

Poor state of trade facilitation is a dampener in this regard

Connectivity through Bangladesh can provide easier access for the North-East not only to the rest of India but to the rest of the world.
