Eastern Regional Centre

In order to give a thrust to its activities in the backward eastern States, particularly Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha, IHD had set up its Eastern Regional Centre at Ranchi (IHD- ERC) in 2007. The mandate of IHD-ERC is to undertake studies and research focused on the backwardness of the eastern region and, in particular, deprivations of vulnerable groups such as tribals, dalits, minorities and other such sections of the society of the region. There is a project office at Patna to coordinate the activities in Bihar.

RESEARCH

IHD and the Eastern Regional Centre have been engaged in several analytical and policy- related studies, based on both primary and secondary sources of data. Around 40 research and evaluation studies have been conducted and 10 publications have been brought in the form of books/monographs on the eastern region. Further, many high-level debates and discussions, including the seminars, workshops, consultations and conferences have been organized, which have been attended by a cross-section of scholars, experts, social activists, development practitioners and policy-makers.
