Mokokchung, August 20 (MTNews): Advisor Imnatiba, senior State government officials, and representatives from’ Think through Consulting’ — official advisors to the Industries & Commerce Department, State Government of Nagaland—met with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) country representatives in New Delhi with the goal of promoting industrial development and growth in Nagaland on August 17, 2022.
The scope of industrial development in Nagaland was discussed by the Director of Industries and Commerce, Vitsutho Nyuthe, and Advisor, Industries and Commerce and Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Imnatiba. The necessity to promote industrial growth in Nagaland by leveraging the State’s unique resources and human capital was discussed during the meeting. Because of this, the Government of Nagaland has formally written to UNIDO to seek assistance and support for inclusive and sustainable industrial development in the State.
“Located in India’s northeast region, the State of Nagaland presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities in terms of growth of trade, commerce, and industry, owing to historical geo-political limitations and limited manufacturing capacities. However, the Government of Nagaland is committed to the immense potential of the State for building specific manufacturing value chains. Nagaland’s unique natural and cultural resources can be unlocked by nurturing citizens’ entrepreneurial capacity and diversification of industrial activities in the State”, said Imnatiba. “With an objective to revitalize the growth of trade and commerce in Nagaland, a new policy is therefore being formulated to replace the two-decade old State Industrial Policy,” he added.
According to Global Managing Partner, Think through Consulting, Parul Soni,” Nagaland is one of the eight Northeastern sister States with a wide topography. The State has made tremendous reforms in terms of fiscal management, personnel policies, and institutional infrastructure. With 70% of the Naga population engaged in agriculture and allied activities, the State now seeks support to usher in much-desired growth in the industrial sector. Think through Consulting, as official advisor to the Industries & Commerce Department, is delighted to assist the State Government of Nagaland in their drive to make accelerated industrial growth a reality in the State”.
