Executive Summary:

The Five Day Faculty Development Programme, on ‘New Perspectives in the History of North East India-II’, sought to bring in new research from older and younger scholars from the region within the discipline of history. Building on the expertise of each scholar they not only provided a window to their own research, but offered vistas of what kind of new researches can be taken up. Based on the overwhelming response of the participants another FDP in the same series is being planned shortly.
