Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research

The Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research, NLUT, aims to bring forth the unrevealed rich cultural heritage of the North East. The Centre aims to promote studies and research in the fields of social sciences, including economics, political science, history, culture, and ecology of the North East region of India. This would assist better policy-making through the dispersion of field knowledge and foster further development in the region. With this Centre, the university endeavours to better understand the region’s unique socio-cultural fabric and security issues. The Centre would create a much-needed link between practical conditions and research and further between the outcome of research and practical analysis and policy formulation.

The Centre for the Northeast Studies and Policy Research is the brainchild of the Vice-Chancellor of National Law University Tripura. It organizes various events to enlighten young minds and promote the Human rights ethos at all levels. The Center will flourish in due course and will surely become a platform to champion the cause of basic Human Rights in Northeast India.
