Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) Nirbhay Sharma has exhorted the scientists and faculty of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) here to carry out research that is relevant and useful to the state.
Addressing the institute's students and faculty members at its temporary campus at Yupia yesterday, the governor urged them to emphasise on research related to hydropower and environment, a Raj Bhawan communique said here today.
