In 1979, a group of concerned Christian leaders
from North East India came together and pray to
seek and address to the needs of the poor and suffering
people of the North Eastern
region. The prayer and consultation continued with the heart
filled with compassion to do something for the suffering people
of North East India. As a result of
this prayer of visionary leaders, “North East India Committee On
Relief & Development” (NEICORD) was born on the 4th of November
1981.
NEICORD is a
non-profit Christian organization responding to the needs of the
poor and marginalized, irrespective of color, race religion and
gender.
NEICORD
strives to build bridges of peace and harmony among all tribes
of the North East India
in partnership and cooperation with churches and other NGOs.
NEICORD
operates from its head office in Shillong, located in the state
of Meghalaya. Programs are implemented through partnership with
Churches and like minded NGOs at the grass root level.
NEICORD is
registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860,
under the FCRA Act 1976 and also registered under 80G F. No.
233/80G/Tech./01-02/1538 which is valid upto the Assessment Year
