Abstract.
We are pursuing multi-wavelength studies of young star clusters
associated with &hii; regions to understand the star formation
scenario. The young stellar objects (YSOs) in these regions were
identified using the near/ mid-infrared colours, slitless
spectroscopy and X-ray observations. The optical colour-magnitude
diagram of the YSOs indicates that the majority of these objects
have ages between 1 Myr to 5 Myr, indicating a non-coeval star
formation in the clusters. There is evidence for triggered star
formation at the periphery of cluster regions.
