National Conference
On
Indigenous Technology, Livelihood Option and Habitat Utilization
Concepts and Perspectives of Development
November 23-24, 2009              
Guwahati, Assam

The North East Center for Research and Development (NECRD) began functioning from Guwahati as an Academic Research Institute from January 2009. The Centre began as a positive intervention by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) for long term Human Resource Development in North-East India. 

The North Eastern part of India situated in her extreme east is still a land of wonders for many. Comprising of eight states and having geographical proximity to a number of South-East Asian countries, this sprawling region is conspicuous by verdant hilly terrains, scenic natural beauty, hospitable people with enduring expression in art and culture, quaint historic and Vedic shrines and habitats of endangered species. However, it is very unfortunate that the rest of the world apparently knows this region more for its insurgency than anything else.
