Additionally, under the PM-DeVINE scheme, four ongoing projects have been approved with a total cost of Rs 376.87 crores, he added.

In terms of technological advancements, the Nagaland GIS & Remote Sensing Centre has conducted comprehensive mapping for all District Headquarters and towns. The integration of urban data and reconstructions, along with the use of drone technology for near real-time data collection, is expected to enhance planning and management efforts for better infrastructure and development in the state.
