The Vice Chancellor of ADBU Dr Stephen Mavely hopes that JNEIC, “will be a catalyst in promoting a true understanding and appreciation of the hundreds of indigenous cultures that our land is blessed with – not from the position of assumed or unassumed privilege or superiority, but form the perspective of fellow travelers who seek to explore, understand and celebrate the wonder of diversity while appreciating the fundamental ties and values that bind men and women everywhere.”

 

Concluding the editorial in the first issue of JNEIC, the editor believes “this international journal will open up Northeast India to larger academic audiences and encourage mutual dialogue and criticism.”

 

This journal published twice a year is edited by Dr Paul Pudussery and a team of 4 Associate Editors along with 12 member eminent Advisory Board and 10 member Review Board.
