She highlighted the need to ensure effective implementation of government schemes at the grassroots level.

Highlighting Nagaland’s tourism potential, she said the state’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, especially the globally renowned Hornbill Festival offer vast opportunities for economic growth and improved livelihoods.

Referring to Khonoma, widely known as India’s first green village, she praised the community spirit and environmental consciousness of the people, calling it an inspiring example of sustainable development.

The Minister also encouraged the promotion of “Local for Local” and “Make in India,” urging support for local products and empowerment of women, farmers and youth. She called on departments to adopt target-oriented approaches with monthly and six-month goals to achieve measurable outcomes.
