centre on the North-Eastern Region (NER) was set up in the Institute to
address key issues relating to labour and employment in the NER. A little
over three and half percent of India's labour force are concentrated in
the north east region of the country. This necessitates especial attention
to this region. Keeping this in view, the research and training centres
for NER have been set up in the Institute
