The basic idea behind the concept of Local Area Development Program is to accelerate development and bridge the gap between the ‘haves and have nots.’ So the powers have been decentralized to the District Level by the State Government to make plan based on the needs of the Local Areas. The schemes for the year 2018-19 have been worked out in consultation with the elected members from 6 A/C-Tening and 7A/C-Peren respectively. The schemes showed in the booklet are in conformity with the government’s directive and Local Area Development Programme guidelines framed by the State Planning Board. The formulated list of schemes for the year 2018-19 were minutely discussed in District Planning & Development Board meeting and recommended to the State Planning Board for approval. Taking this opportunity I would like to express my profound gratitude to both the elected members of the District and esteem members of the DP&DB, Peren for the support and contribution for this publication and preparation of the schemes. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the District Planning Officer, Peren and his colleagues for rendering the best effort to make this publication a success.

In 1832 the first British explorers Captains Francis Jenkin and R.B. Pemberton with 700 soldiers and 800 coolies from Manipur in progress to Assam forced enter Naga country at Poilwa (Popolongmai)-Punglwa (Tiriamah)-Chumukedima (Samuguting), the party was met with heavy resistance at Popolongmai. In January, 1833, Lieutenant Gurdon with Gumber Singh of Manipur Raja embarked on a second expedition from Imphal proceed and track to Peren (Biriemah)-Dhanseri river and to Assam. Mr. Grange lead another expedition into the Naga Country through the same route in 1840 started from Assam through Dhanseri-Chumukedima-Punglwa–Poilwa -Yangkhulen and retreat from a point between Yangkhulen and Moheelong march back to Assam and on return burned down half of Poilwa as punitive actions for the resistance given to their advancement into the Naga country. The first Administrative set up in Peren district was the establishment of a Political Assistant Office in 1958 then the district was known as Zeliang-Kuki Areas, later on a Circle Officer was posted at Peren in 1963, Assistant Commissioner-II was posted in 1965 and upgraded to SDO (Civil) Headquarter in 1966 and shifted to Jalukie. In 1973 the SDO (C) Office at Jalukie was shifted back to Peren and upgraded to Sub-Division with Shri. L.M Jamir as the first ADC (Independent charge) under Kohima District. Peren was declared a full-fledged Revenue District on 24 January 2004, with Shri. Mikha Lomi as the first Deputy Commissioner, with a geographical area of 1799 Sq Kms and a population of 94,954 and a density population of 41 per sq Kms. There are 7 Administrative Hqrs, 4 (four) Rural Development Blocks, and 86 Villages and 21 settlements. The District Headquarter was shifted to the present site on 2nd January 2015, by Shri. Peter Lichamo DC, Peren, with ten other HoDs and representatives on the first day of office at the New District Headquarter Peren. Popularly, Peren District known as “the Green District of Nagaland,” with the highest concentration of Flora and Fauna (Forest both reserve and unreserved Belt) of all districts in Nagaland, lies at the extreme South-West of Nagaland, is 100 kms from the capital of Nagaland Kohima via (K-L Road) and 95 kms from Dimapur the Commercial hub and Gateway of Nagaland the only Railway head and Airport of Nagaland, daily Bus and Taxi Services are plying from Peren to Kohima and Dimapur. PEOPLE Peren district the home of the Zeliang and Kuki Tribes. The languages spoken are the Zemi, Liangmai, Kuki and Rongmei, Nagamese along with English the official language of Nagaland. Though in the past they were headhunters, the people of Peren district were known for the best dance, music, arts and fineries, but of late for want of more economic development in the district the people are reeling under acute poverty and are now the most backward district in Nagaland. AREA The total Area of Peren District is 1799 Sq Kms with a density of 41 Per sq Kms. There are 7 Administrative Hqs, 86 recognized Villages and 21 settlements in Peren district with a population of 94,954 as per 2011 census. The district is bounded by Dimapur in the North, Kohima in the East, Manipur in the south and Assam in the West. -5- TOPOGRAPHY Peren District can be classified into three regions: 1. The Barail Ranges (Hill sector) 2. The Jalukie Valley (Plain Sector) 3. The Intangki Forest (Reserved Forest) ECONOMIC ACTIVITY The land is fertile for Agro base production and the people of Peren district are mainly agrarian (80%) by occupation and paddy is the livelihood of the populace, and Jalukie Valley known as the Rice Bowl of Nagaland. Besides paddy, of late the people have taken up crops like Pineapple, yam, beans, ginger, Banana, and other Horticulture products,which supplement the crops. The popular Naga King’s Chilies is a translation of the words Chaibe Rachi meaning Chaibe = King’s + Rachi = chilly, both the name and the Chilies originated from Peren district. Recently farmers have taken up Cash crops cultivation like rubber, Tea, Turmeric, Medicinal Plants, and Orchard etc to enhance their income. Interestingly, Peren is the only district where local people dominate and control commercial and business activities in Towns and villages. Many families have opted and engaged themselves in business as a means of their livelihood. The famous ‘Mid-Night Market at Jalukie Town’ where the commercial activities virtually begin from Mid-night is an outlet of the agriculture and horticulture products of the farmers. The organic crops and vegetables which are grown in large areas and produce in large quantity are yet to be channelized for outside markets and lack of facilities like transports and cold storages are hampering and discouraging the poor marginal farmer for more productions in- spite of the vast potentiality in the district. FESTIVAL The important Festivals of the Zeliang and Kuki are Meleinyi/ Hega, (Zeliang) and Minkut (Kuki) is celebrated in February- March every year, where as Langsemnyi /Chaga Gadi are celebrated in the month of October. RELIGON Forefathers of the Zeliangs and Kuki Tribes of Peren district practice a Culture which is similar to that of Judaism if not for the oral traditions of handing down knowledge and customary practices to the younger generation, otherwise a theocratic society whose laws practices were rooted firmly on the belief of the invisible ‘Being’, who was the creator of the universe, to which the early Christian missionaries have term as Animisms.
