Its focus area is primarily in culture and spirituality as manifested in the region and how they are deeply intertwined with the ethos of the rest of the country. VKIC seeks to promote its work through seminars lectures and workshops. No less important it carries out a range of intellectual projects in various parts of the Northeast focusing on the spread of much needed awareness among communities leading to rebuilding their self-confidence.
