North East Institute of Science and Technology (NEIST) (formerly Regional Research Laboratory) is a constituent establishment of the

northeastern India like Petroleum, Coal, Natural Gas, Minerals, Tea
, Microbes, Aromatic and Medicinal plants.

Activities

Presently, NEIST is a full-fledged multidisciplinary research institution having research areas like Advanced Computation and

science and technology. A Common Facility Center (CFC) under the STINER (Science and Technological Intervention in North East India) project funded by Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER), Govt of India has been established at NEIST.[1] The main goal of the project is to bring all the relevant proven technologies to the people of North Eastern Region (NER), more particularly to farmers and artisans community, so that the quality of their profession can be boost up through science and technological intervention. During the unprecedented situation of COVID-19 across the globe, the institute has organized a unique Summer Research Training Program 2020 (SRTP) through online mode to provide training to over 16000 participants.[2] The training program for Drug Discovery Hackathon 2020, an initiative of MHRD's Innovation Cell, was conducted by the institute.[3] A COVID-19 research laboratory has also been set up in the institute premises to facilitate COVID-19 testing facility in the entire region.[4] Under the CSIR-AROMA mission, the institute has planned to set up "Multilocational Trial & Regional Research Experimental Farm" across the North East.[5]
