The ICAR Research Complex for Northeastern Hill Region, a premier research institute, was established on January 9, 1975, with the aim of addressing the unique agricultural and developmental challenges of the region’s tribal areas.
Over the years, the institute has been at the forefront of promoting and conducting research, extension services, and human resource development in agriculture and allied sectors, specifically focusing on the hilly and mountainous ecosystems of the Northeastern states.
