^{Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS)} is a non-profit non governmental organization, an international 'think-tank'  which is aimed at providing an inspirational energy and a motivating force for overall revival and development of the North East India in all its spheres.  During the British Raj and till after India's independence, the North East India,  except for the states of Manipur, Tripura & Sikkim, was under one geographical name of Assam. After India's independence however, several new states have been formed. Along with the new states one also sees the rise of various insurgent groups in the North East which are still continuing unabated.  Overall the entire North East region suffers from acute underdevelopment in spite of its rich natural resources compared to the rest of the country. We believe among various other factors it reflects poorly on the governance of the North East by the central political leadership on one hand and a lack of proper local leadership on the other combined with a lack of understanding of the cultures of the region with the required sensitiveness.

Against this background, Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) offers a common platform for all friends and well-wishers of Northeast to respond and work for the common good of the peoples of the Northeast and make the Northeast shine in its own glory which is its due.
