About ESIC North East Region:
The ESI Scheme in the North Eastern States was implemented as far back as in 1958, under the Regional Office, West Bengal. It was in the early 70s that an independent Region was created for North East Region, with its Regional Office at Guwahati. Initially, the Scheme was implemented in 5 (five) Centers in the state of Assam. Gradually, with the continuous and optimum efforts, the Scheme had been extended to the whole of the state of Assam and to the state of Meghalaya in the year 1980. Thereafter, the Scheme was extended to the state of Nagaland in the year 2008 and to the state of Tripura in the year 2009. As on date, the Scheme is yet to be extended to the other 3 (three) states of the North East India, which are Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Mizoram. Optimum efforts are being taken for extension of the Scheme to the other three non implemented states and it is expected that the Scheme will soon implemented in these states as well.
