The Centre for Organisation Research & Education (CORE) is a representative indigenous peoples' organization based in Manipur, India. The organization works on grassroots support and advocacy for the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples and their organizations in the northeast region of India, with particular emphasis on the different indigenous and tribal peoples of Manipur, which number more than 30.

CORE is actively participating in the debate on the rights of indigenous peoples during the sessions of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations appointed by the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities.

Material aggregated from documentation and research is available at a small resource center accessible at no cost to individuals and non-government institutions. Research and documentation combined with organizational activities, has resulted in a number of publication and papers. These include inputs into mass media, both print and audio-visual.

CORE supports other grassroots organizations by providing or arranging for intensive capacity building. CORE particularly seeks to facilitate the enhanced performance and effectiveness of community based organizations. In all activities, CORE maintains as its priorities a participatory approach to community building, and the long-term development goal of a wide range of communities living together in the same environment.
