About NEET
Working to enhance children's capacity for critical thinking and creative expression through innovative learning.
Learning that grows with the community
North East Educational Trust (NEET) began in Guwahati, Assam, in 2009 with a simple belief: everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow, and take part in shaping their future.
Our programme work began in 2017 with a community-based learning initiative. Since then, our work has grown into programmes across education, early childhood care and education, teacher development, sports, and livelihoods.
Our Journey
Looking Ahead
From a single community library in Guwahati to programmes spanning education, ECCE, teacher education, sports, and livelihoods, NEET has continued to grow in response to the needs and aspirations of the communities it works with.
As NEET moves forward, it remains committed to creating inclusive spaces and opportunities for learning, creativity, participation, and empowerment, while strengthening partnerships and developing sustainable approaches that contribute to meaningful community development.
