Respected Editor,

The latest Tourism Policy of Assam which highlighted to promote films with cash grant of Rs 1 crore, whichever is less, of expenditure in Assam will be offered as reimbursement to Hindi, English and foreign language cinema makers, who have produced a minimum of five feature films.

This is just a good initiative to bring in closer the gap between Northeast India and Centre. Assam filmmakers have made their mark in many aspects and winning awards. This will invite inspiration among other filmmakers within the Northeast region to come to the fore. Scenic beauty, culture, food, music amongst others are just what Northeast India can offer to the platter.

"Awesome Assam" which features Bollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra as brand ambassador is all set for global launch on  November 1 and this is just the start of improving the tourism industry of not only Assam but the Northeast India in general.
