In particular, it is an anthropologists\u2019 dreamland. Therefore, the Department of North East India Studies is established with an aim to record the social cultural dynamics of the region\u2019s past, present and future. It tends to inform the academic community, researchers, social scientists, policy makers and many others about the dynamics of the region. The region is an immense treasure trove of resources and may have the answers to some of the most perplexing problems the world is going through.<\/p><p>North East India, known for its diversity on all fronts is not without challenges and confusion. Hence, the Department attempts to explore ways to harness the cultural mosaic of the region and tries to find solutions to the predicaments of identity and ethnicity of the region.<\/p><p>The Department offers Elective Papers in Master Degree Courses and Doctoral Studies under the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and publishes the \u201cJournal of North East Indian Cultures.
