About

The North East Students' Organization (NESO), established in 1979, is a prominent umbrella body representing student organizations across the eight northeastern states of India. Headquartered in Shillong, Meghalaya, NESO focuses on advocating for the rights, culture, and development of the region's indigenous communities. Its key objectives include protecting indigenous rights, addressing immigration and demographic challenges, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting socio-economic and educational development. NESO has actively opposed policies like the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), citing concerns over its impact on the region's demographics, and has raised issues related to illegal immigration and border security. The organization also works to enhance educational opportunities through lobbying for scholarships and improved infrastructure.

However, NESO has faced criticism for its perceived ethnocentric focus, with detractors arguing that the organization sometimes prioritizes the interests of specific ethnic groups over broader regional unity. Additionally, concerns have been raised about its effectiveness, citing occasional delays in addressing urgent regional issues. Another common point of critique is that, despite being a student organization, NESO is often led by individuals who are no longer students, with many leaders being over the age of 30. Critics argue that this undermines its representation of the student community and its ability to engage directly with the issues and perspectives of younger generations. These challenges have sparked debates about the need for reforms to ensure greater inclusivity, efficiency, and alignment with the evolving needs of the northeastern region’s student population.
