Monitoring & Evaluation

The Institute places due weightage on the monitoring and evaluation studies based on various quantitative and qualitative indicators. Over the years, it has established a niche in conducting evaluation and impact assessment studies in eastern and north eastern part of the country. The findings of the programme level and process level evaluation studies of the Institute have created effective benchmarks in redefining and reorienting the existing intervention programmes, strengthening its various modules, identifying the 'success factors' for creating better quality of life thereby enabling to replicate the success stories and also assess the status of the service delivery mechanism through the identification of output and outcome indicators.
