NORTH-EASTERN HILL UNIVERSITY The North-Eastern Hill University Act (24 of 1973) passed by both Houses of Parliament received the assent of the President of India on May 26, 1973. The emblem of the university has a rising sun in a yellow circle, surrounded by a thick border in orange carrying its name, with a range of green mountains supporting. Below this an open book written ‘Rise up and Build’ is kept. This is supported by a yellow banner adding reverence. The sun, the mountain range and the colours yellow, orange and green represent the land of the rising sun.
