Dimapur, June 10 (EMN): A book titled “Climate Change and Sustainable Development: Perspective from North East India” was released by Prof. Pardeshi Lal, vice chancellor of Nagaland University, on June 10 at Lumami in Zunheboto.
The institution issued a press release to the media on Monday informing about a book-release programme.
The book was stated to be an outcome of a national seminar on Climate Change and sustainable development, with special reference to Northeast India. The book carries selected papers that were presented at the seminar, the upgrades stated. The publication is dedicated to the commemoration of the silver jubilee of the university.
After releasing the book, Prof. Pardeshi Lal delivered a brief speech during which he said that the book would be 'of use' to students, researchers and policymakers. He exhorted the individuals involved in the seminar and in the publication of the book to not be satisfied with the findings but to "look into them seriously with a view to take necessary action."

Touching upon other aspects of sustainable development such as food and water, Prof. Lal urged the gathering to 'not damage the environment under any circumstances.'
