Staff members participated in activities designed to strengthen their skills and align their efforts with NEILAC’s mission of preserving and revitalizing the linguistic heritage of Northeast India. The training emphasized the importance of incorporating local cultural perspectives into language research and action, ensuring that NEILAC’s work remains deeply connected to the communities it serves and their unique cultural contexts.
