And there is definitely no one solution to this complex and multifaceted problem. However, studies and many policy interventions have showed that the one element that has contributed to the flawed policy development over the years is the inability of policy makers to substantially involve young people, who best understand the realities of youth employment. Any solution to the youth employment challenge has to be perceived beyond ‘what young people might want and what is best for them’. It has to be taken into account the expectations, frustrations and aspirations of young people vis-à-vis the market. So the question we need to ask ourselves is “Are youth to be viewed as target group for which employment must be found or should we engage young people as partners in finding a solution to the unemployment problem?” The Nagaland State youth consultation on youth employment under the YES Campaign was conceived as a recognition that the voice of the youths matter. And that the youths have a vital role to play in formulating a solution to youth employment by being a part in charting a common cause and shaping the future for everyone. It was a common determination to see this generation play its part in promoting development through active youth run and youth-led initiatives. In the light of this, the Government of Nagaland made a conscious effort to involve the youth in developing strategies on youth employment. As future policy makers and leaders the input of the youths are absolutely necessary for not only finding a solution but also sustaining it. Though this consultation has been aimed at providing a platform for youth to specifically focus on the employment question, the rationale behind it is also to gather practical information which would help various stakeholders on range of youth development issues. Nothing can substantiate more to what the UN, the ILO and the World Bank have endorsed to, “that youth rather than viewed as a problem or risk to be contained or solved, should be recognized as presenting an enormous opportunity and potential for the world’s future development. UN General Assembly mandates for youth participation The World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond (A/RES/50/81) recognizes that the active engagement of young people themselves is central to its successful implementation and, accordingly, affirms the full and effective participation of youth in society and decision-making as one of its 10 priority areas for action. This resolution asks policy makers to “Take into account the contribution of youth in designing, implementing and evaluating national policies and plans affecting their concerns” UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/57/165 (December 2002) on Promoting Youth Employment “Encourages Member States to prepare national reviews and action plans on youth employment and to involve youth organizations and young people in this process” UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/58/133 (January 2004) on Policies and programmes involving youth has a number of references to youth participation in policy making.

Hekani Jakhalu 01 Introduction 6-9 Background and Rationale The YES Campaign strives to build the individual capacity of youth in order to create sustainable livelihoods and to establish an entrepreneurial culture where young people move toward formal employment. With support of diverse stakeholders, YES networks worldwide organize and facilitate customized programming that relies on youth to drive the implementation process. Since its global launch in 2002, the YES Campaign has validated the concept that young people, if given access to the right recourses, can effectively craft their own advancement opportunities. The YES Nagaland Chapter commits to take this campaign forward and engage youth productively and improve the livelihood of the current and future generations.

While Indian wildlife laws prohibit hunting of virtually all large wild animals, in several parts of North-eastern parts of India that are dominated by indigenous tribal communities, these laws have largely been ineffective due to cultural traditions of hunting for meat, perceived medicinal and ritual value, and the community ownership of the forests. We report the quantity of wild animals sold at Tuensang town of Nagaland, based on weekly samples drawn from May 2009 to April 2010. Interviews were held with vendors on the availability of wild animals in forests belonging to them and methods used for hunting. The tribes of Chang, Yimchunger, Khiemungan, and Sangtam are involved in collection/ hunting and selling of animals in Tuensang. In addition to molluscs and amphibians, 1,870 birds (35 species) and 512 mammals (8 species) were found in the samples. We estimated that annually 13,067 birds and 3,567 mammals were sold in Tuensang market alone, which fetched about Indian Rupees ( ) 18.5 lakhs/ year.

  • The Yimchunger Nagas: Local Histories and Changing Identity in Nagaland, Northeast India*
    The Yimchunger Nagas: Local Histories and Changing Identity in Nagaland, Northeast India* Debojyoti Das Introduction Ethnic identity, as Stanley J. Tambiah writes, is above all a collective identity (Tambiah 1989: 335). For example, in northeastern India, we are self-proclaimed Nagas, Khasis, Garos, Mizos, Manipuris and so on. Ethnic identity is a self-conscious and articulated identity that substantialises and naturalises one or more attributes, the conventional ones being skin colour, language, and religion. These attributes are attached to collectivities as being innate to them and as having mythic historical legacy. The central components in this description of identity are ideas of inheritance, ancestry and descent, place or territory of origin, and the sharing of kinship. Any one or combination of these components may be invoked as a claim according to context and calculation of advantages. Such ethnic collectivities are believed to be bounded, self-producing and enduring through time. Although the actors themselves, whilst invoking these claims, speak as if ethnic boundaries are clear-cut and defined for all time, and think of ethnic collectivities as self-reproducing bounded groups, it is also clear that from a dynamic and processual perspective there are many precedents for changes in identity, for the incorporation and assimilation of new members, and for changing the scale and criteria of a collective identity. Ethnic labels are porous in function. The phenomenon of * I wish to acknowledge the Felix Scholarship for supporting my ethnographic and archival research in Nagaland, India.

  • CHAPTER 3: Zabo (Zabü) Farming of Kikruma Village, Nagaland, India
    CHAPTER 3 Zabo (Zabü) Farming of Kikruma Village, Nagaland, India I. Amenla, Joint Director Agriculture, Directorate of Agriculture, Kohima, Nagaland, India Keviu Shuya, Deputy Project Director, Agricultural Technology Management Agency, Phek, Nagaland, India Introduction The Naga farmers have since time immemorial worked closely with nature by understanding the rich resources to innovatively develop farming systems to their advantage. Tested indigenous knowledge of farming is orally passed down through generations and is still in practice along with the modern agriculture farming technologies. One such farming system that has already been accepted and acknowledged by all stakeholders to be one of the best practices and sustainable farming approaches is the cultivation method developed by the Kikruma village of Phek district, Nagaland, India. The Zabo (Zabü) farming method is similar to IFS (Integrated Farming System). The only difference is in the involvement of the entire farming families of the village and the sharing of the rainwater harvesting during the cropping season and management of land and off-farm activities. There is ample scope for this indigenous farming system to be adopted with technology intervention in hill agriculture where farmers face water scarcity and soil erosion. Nagaland Nagaland is one of the smallest states in India. Located in northeastern India, it occupies an area of 16,579 sq km, having a population of 1,978,502. Agriculture is the main occupation and the state has the potential to cultivate approximately 721,924 lakh hectare, that is, 4.35% of the total geographical area. The topography of Nagaland is largely undulating hilly terrain, situated between 25'06 °N and 27'04 °N latitude and 93'20 °E and 95'15 °E longitude.

The Vision is a destination in the future and the ability to translate the Vision through Mission, is what matters. With Vision you can plan but with Mission you can implement. You need conviction to translate the steps needed to achieve the Vision. Almost every state or country has a Vision to propel the economy forward. We have seen and felt what it is like to have a big Vision and many in the developing world have been inspired to develop a Vision for their countries and have planned the way forward for their countries to progress. We have to be a vibrant tourist destination with good accommodation and other proper facilities to showcase our beautiful land and cultural richness. We need reformation in our education system, power and energy, roads and communications, etc. Our five Universities have to have dialogue with Trade & Commerce and introduce academic courses to create wealth out of Natural Resources with empowered skill education.
