Ishān Vikās is a comprehensive plan to bring selected students from the school and college levels from the North-Eastern states into close contact with the IITs, NITs, and IISERs during their vacation periods.
A visit will be planned for a period of ten days to one of these institutions, in the form of either exposure or an Internship program. Each school will send one teacher to accompany a group of about 32 students of class IX and X and 8 teachers.
The college students would be organized into two groups in summer and in winter, consisting of 32 students in each group. About 2016 college students and 504 teachers from N-E will be visiting premier Institutes, like IIT/NIT/ IISERs in an academic year.
