While addressing the occasion, Dr. Akhil Ranjan Dutta asserted that the entire Northeast India is a society with diverse cultures and traditions, and if its respective identities, cultures, and glories are not recognized, they will be disrespected. The conflicts and mental anguish which were seen among the indigenous ethnic people of the region, can be somewhat alleviated by the ideals of multiculturalism, which apparently will help to establish a strong and healthy democracy. Hundreds of students as well as teachers of the college participated in the seminar as well as its online version.
