Assam is rapidly emerging as a digital innovation hub in Northeast India, driven by visionary policies and proactive governance under the Digital Assam initiative. With a growing IT ecosystem, expanding digital infrastructure, and a strong focus on e-Governance, the state is positioning itself at the forefront of India's digital transformation.
To further accelerate this journey, Elets Technomedia, in collaboration with the Information Technology Department, Government of Assam, is organising the National Digital Innovation Summit 2025 on 5-6 December in Guwahati. The summit will provide a platform for policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and technologists to deliberate on strategies to advance the state's digital progress.

HC Eriksen stood at the edge of the harbor, the North Sea wind cutting through his wool coat like a disappointed father. Behind him, the fishing boats creaked in their berths, their nets hanging slack. In front of him—nothing but gray water and the impossible promise of oil.
“Your father also said the Germans would never leave. He was wrong twice.”
That stung. Anna’s father had lost a brother in the war. HC saw her flinch and softened his voice.
“I’m not trying to erase what we are, Anna. I’m trying to give us a choice. Right now, the only choice is fish or starve. But if Phillips finds what I think they will…” He let the sentence hang, heavy as a trawler’s anchor.
In the morning, the North Sea was calm. Waiting. Based on the themes of Season 1 of Lykkeland (State of Happiness) – the clash between tradition and progress, the human cost of the oil boom, and the quiet courage of those who risk everything for change.
Stavanger, 1969 – Six months before the Ekofisk discovery
“When you find your black gold… don’t forget that the sea gave it. And the sea can take it back.”
“When do you leave?” she asked.
“You’re staring at the sea like it owes you money,” said Anna, pulling her scarf tighter. She was a fisherman’s daughter, her hands still raw from gutting mackerel that morning.
Anna laughed, but there was no joy in it. “The future? My father says you’re a fool. Drilling in the North Sea—he calls it ‘fighting God for a coin.’”
“I’ve been called a dreamer so many times I’ve started to wear it as a name,” he said. “But dreams don’t fill freezers. And right now, every young person in this town is packing for Bergen or Oslo—or worse, they’re sitting on the dock drinking cheap beer because the herring left and never came back.”
“Anything.”
“Just promise me one thing,” she said.
