Brief Industrial profile of Peren District 1. General Characteristics of the District History: - Peren District is inhabited by the Zeliangs who originated from Nkuilwangdi, presently in Senapati District of Manipur. After consolidating British rule in Kohima and surrounding villages by 1879, the British Imperialist turned its attention towards Barail ranges south of the Angami Country inhabited by the Zeliangs (Known to the Britishers as Kacha Nagas) and succeeded in establishing their authority over the Zeliangs within the following years. Soon after, the British Government realized the importance of proper communication to carry out colonial administration and extension of political administrative control. Accordingly, link roads were constructed linking Kohima with all the outlying posts. One such link roads constructed was the bridle path through Khonoma via Benreu Pedi, Peletkie, Peren, Tesen to Tening outpost in 1885. Moreover, comfortable Dak Bangalows also known as Inspection Bangolows, were constructed at Pedi, Peletkie and Tesangki. This bridle path proved effective in quelling the freedom movement led by Rani Gaidinliu between 1931 -1940 and her subsequent capture from Poilwa village by Captain Macdonald And as a Precautionary measure against its revival, the British Government maintained its outpost at Tening (Henima). Moreover, side by side with its political interest, the colonial administration realized the importance of propagating Christianity amongst the Naga Tribes. Thus, the introduction of Christianity and imperialist expansionist policy went hand in hand which had far-reaching impact on the Nagas, including the Zeliangs on the way to faster growth and advancement. The Kohima Mission Centre, in particular, proved to be the center of “turning point” for the Zeliangs as more than a Century ago Heizieluing of Benreu Village who was employed as a developmental worker in this Center became the first convert amongst the Zeliang tribe, to be followed years later by other fellow villagers, also from this Centre. Thus Christianity spread among the Zeliangs. Consequent to the spread of Chtristianity when Peren Town was first established, one of the first things the early settlers did was to set up a Church with Ngimraing as the first Pastor Resultantly, Christianity is deep rooted in Peren District with Christian comprising about 95% of the total population AGRICULTURE About three-fourth of the population is involved in agriculture. Rice is the staple food crop grown. Peren District also has a unique land holding pattern in that almost 90% of the area is privately owned. There is no landless among the inhabitants of the District, as each Possess land, either his own, or inherited from his family, clan or village. Although agriculture is the main-stay of the District, self-sufficiency in food-grain is yet to be achieved. Considering the hilly terrain of three-fourth of the area, this is not unusual but the main drawback is that cultivation is vitiated by Jhumming. The only answer to this is to encourage terraced cultivation, contour bunding, farm forestry, orchard plantation and cash crop plantation so as to discourage Jhum cultivation which leads to soil erosion, loss of fertility, deforestation and low yield. The Government need to turn its sincere attention to the vast fertile plains of the District viz., Jalukie, Ahthibung, Heninglcunglwa Ngwalwa, Gaili and Punglwa to practically translate these into the Rice Bowl of Nagaland, besides industrial and horticulture prospects these areas holds. Whereas the farmers in the North, Northeast and West foot hills and valleys depends on rivers like Nkwareu, Mungleu, Techauki, Ngungreu, Tahailci, Ntankj, Tesangki etc, water source for paddy fields in the foot hills in the East and South originates from Doidieki (Dzuku). HYDROPROJECTS Peren District takes pride in having I (one) Mini Hydro Project at Duilumreu, Poilwa. Both the First as well as the Second phase has been commissioned. The District, however, is yet to directly benefit from its only Hydro Project as power generated from this Project is being supplied to Kohima only. INDUSTRIES The artistic sense of the inhabitants of the District indicates Promising future in Industry. However, the Government is yet to take serious notice of this Potentiality. TOURISM This remote hilly area covered with luxuriant vegetation and unique forests, cool and bracing climate, scenic beauty of the terrain, enchanting rivers and rivulets, presence of wide variety of wild animals and birds, birds-eye view of the neighboring Manipur and Assam, and the hospitable and likeable nature of the inhabitants indicates promising future for tourism industry. Moreover, the rich cultural heritage of the Zeliangs including festivals and dances are added attractions. Places of tourism Potentiality includes historical places like the Mt. Kisa at Nzauna village situated at the southernmost end of the District and the caves at Puilwa village, about 25 km from the Peren Town which are closely associated with the name of Ranj Gaidinliu, the lofty and majestic Mt. Paona - the highest mountain peak in the District at Benreu village with its rare and elusive Blythe’s Tragopan (also found in the lofty ranges of Tesen) and unique plants and shrubs, and Ntanki National Park ( 20202 hac. and 37 k.m. from Dimapur) the home to Holloc Gibbon, a rare and an endangered species of monkey and with all its other charms.
