Grass root Intervention

The NTF has entered into the world of direct grass root intervention from 2015 by making major grassroots intervention through CSR by adopting village and turning it into a model village.

The NTF partnering with IIFCL-HIMCON has adopted the Borsimlauguri village of insurgency infested Baska districts of Assam and turning the backward village into a model village.

The intervention includes, sanitation, water, solar and skill development works besides series of camps for Human Resource Development. The village has also seen the first RO based water treatment plant ever used in any village of the North East India. For the latest please visit https://www.facebook.com/borsimaluguri

Media Advocacy

In a bid to improve rural reporting in the North Eastern India, the NTF has joined hands with ACTED, Paris and European Union (EU) to work in a 42 months long project on "Improving access to information of public schemes in backward districts in India" in seven backward districts of the region. They are Lawngtlai(Mizoram), Chandel & Churachandpur(Manipur), Wokha(Nagaland), Ri-Bhoi(Meghalaya) and Cachar & Goalpara(Assam) districts.

The other partners are NEICORD and the PAC. The project is being supported by European Union (EU) and this is for the first time NTF is expanding to other parts of the North Eastern region. A group of 21 journalists have been selected in these districts and they are being trained to report development journalism besides given long term fellowship.
