The Nagaland Empowerment of People through Economic Development (NEPED) launched its official website, www.neped.in, on Friday, making its three decades of work in community-based development and natural resource management accessible to a wider audience.
The website was unveiled by Dr Zasekuolie Chusi, IAS, APC and Missions Director, NEPED, at a programme attended by NEPED officials, staff and the NagaEd team. The platform is expected to improve the organisation’s visibility and facilitate partnerships with government agencies, development partners, researchers and funding institutions.
Established by the Government of Nagaland in 1995 to implement the India-Canada Environment Facility project, NEPED has worked across the state in areas including community-based natural resource management, renewable energy and sustainable livelihoods.
According to the organisation, its initiatives have reached over 1,000 villages, supported more than 2,700 self-help groups and facilitated the planting of over eight million economic trees. Its “Made in Nagaland” Hydrogers have also reached Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Ladakh.
Dr Chusi said the website would strengthen institutional visibility and bring NEPED’s work closer to the people it serves. Dr Kezevituo Metha, POU Member, who introduced the platform, said digital documentation would make the organisation’s work more accessible and help communicate its achievements to a wider audience. He also credited Team Leader Kovi Meyase with initiating the idea.
NagaEd designed and developed the website. The collaboration follows a five-year memorandum of understanding signed by the two organisations in Kohima on June 10, 2026.
NEPED officials described the launch as the beginning of an ongoing process, with the platform expected to serve as a resource for information, collaboration and future opportunities.
