Regional historiography is acquiring much relevance in academia as well as socio-political scenario in contemporary India. The diverse nature of geographical territory called India needs much focused academic effort to uncover the forgotten and marginalized histories of regions, people and communities.

In order to facilitate a platform for rigorous academic as well as popular endeavours on regional historiography in India, the Centre for Educational Research and Training [CERT] is organizing various Regional History Colloquia and History-related public programs with the tagline, ‘Remembering Histories, Asserting Identities’.

Vision & Mission

History is an ever-evolving field of study, which undergoes various dynamic experiments and explorations time and again. Much didactic efforts have been made to comprehend the historical studies of vast geo-political areas throughout the ages.
However, the ever-changing nature of territorial borders and demarcations affect the historiography of each area, while restructuring it with the interests of the people in power. Fixing of boundaries is a complex task in itself, as man-made boundaries change frequently and rapidly with political change. The only stable boundaries are geographical and even these are liable to be substantially modified by ecological changes. In such a situation, the most viable method to study history of a particular people would be taking up the region as category of reference.
