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 perceived ethnocentric policies and occasional delays in addressing regional challenges.
Member Organizations
NESO comprises eight major student organizations, each representing one of the northeastern states:
All Assam Students’ Union (AASU)
Khasi Students’ Union (KSU)
Garo Students’ Union (GSU)
All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU)
Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP)
Naga Students' Federation (NSF)
All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU)
Twipra Students’ Federation (TSF)
