Published by Department of Planning and Coordination Government of Nagaland First Published : 2011 Price : ` 1200 While every care has been taken to present accurate data, oversights may have occured. Please convey errors, if any to the Department of Planning and Coordination, Government of Nagaland TM Designed, Typset and Printed by artworks NAGALAND GOVERNOR NAGALAND, KOHIMA NIKHIL KUMAR MESSAGE The District Human Development Report of Mon is the first significant analysis of the status of development of that district. The Report provides an objective evaluation of all the sectors in the district. It dwells upon the existing services and resources in the district and prescribes the way forward for improving services and for making it more efficient, accountable and people friendly. It highlights the ways in which the available resources could be optimized and human potential realized. The report prepared with the support of Planning Commission, Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme, provides us adequate information and detailed analysis of different aspects of human development in the district and helps us to identify the relatively neglected areas for prospective action. I understand that experts in the field, academicians and technical personnel within and outside the Government have contributed background papers which have formed the basis of this Report. While acknowledging their contribution, I thank the UNDP and the Planning Commission, for their support and guidance. I am sure, the Report will provide inputs and food for thought to various stakeholders and, also will enable us to devise comprehensive strategies for future development of Mon district. November 15, 2010 (NIKHIL KUMAR) CHIEF MINISTER NAGALAND, KOHIMA NEIPHIU RIO MESSAGE In an era of globalization, when emphasis is often on investment, growth, pace of expenditure, rate of return, etc., the qualitative aspects of human development is often ignored. This results in skewed development. In the last many years, the State has made enormous investments in the field of education and health through various intervention programmes. However, Mon district continues to have a relatively low Human Development Index. Therefore whether and what kind of mid-course actions or corrections are required is captured in the District Human Development Report for Mon. This Report would definitely help in identifying the lacunae and reassessing our investment strategy and would help focus attention on areas which did not receive due attention in the past. The Report will go a long way in enabling policy makers to focus on human development issues and to prioritise them. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate United Nations Development Programme and the Planning Commission, Government of India for having taken the initiatives. The chapter contributors, academicians, experts from outside the Government and officers of the Government of Nagaland, people of Mon also deserve mention for putting together their collective efforts to bring out this Report. I do hope that the Report will help in reorienting strategies towards human development sectors in a more meaningful way. October 27, 2010 (NEIPHIU RIO) MINISTER PLANNING & CO-ORDINATION NAGALAND, KOHIMA T. R. ZELIANG MESSAGE The Gross State Domestic Product indicates the state of the economy but does not reveal the actual state of human well-being. Real growth of a state is reflected through the well-being of its people. In this context the District Human Development Reports which assess, document and quantify the quality of life and pave the way forward serve as vision documents for human development. The District Human Development Report, Mon, which is an in-depth analysis of the developmental outcomes of the district emphasizes on the state of human development in the sphere of health and longevity, education, environment, livelihood and gender issues. In addition, institutional strength and weaknesses, potentials and steps to further human development in the district have been identified. It enables evolvement of investment strategy and programmes to improve the living conditions of the people. The support and assistance of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Planning Commission, Government of India in preparation of this report is gratefully acknowledged. I also congratulate the academia, the experts, NGOs, officers and civil societies of Mon, officials of the State Government and all those whose sincere and dedicated efforts resulted in this Report. This Report will not only be useful for planners but all those who have a stake in the future progress of the district. I look forward to a public discourse based on this Report to enable evolution of a strategy taking into account the aspiration of the people of Mon district. October 29, 2010 (T. R. ZELIANG) CHIEF secretarY NAGALAND, KOHIMA LALTHARA, IAS MESSAGE When the first Nagaland State Human Development Report was brought out in 2004, it was felt that there should be a regular assessment of the level of advancement of people at the grassroots, and the efficacy of various Government policies and projects on the ground, and the District Human Development Reports are the outcome of this process. I thank the Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme for sponsoring this important project. This document provides an in-depth study of the three districts of Kohima, Phek and Mon representing three stages of development within the State. It is heartening to note that within the intervening period of five years, while the pace of development is still slow, there have also been many perceptible positive changes. The document also offers practical insight into the level of development in the three districts, and also the various government programmes and policies which are designed to bridge the socio- economic disparities. I congratulates all those who have contributed towards the compilation of the District Human Development Reports which will serve as a much needed reference point in framing new planning initiatives, including preparation of district plans, for the all round development of the State. November 2, 2010 (LALTHARA) FOREWORD Economic development of a State and higher Gross State Domestic Product does not necessarily reflect the actual well being of its people. Therefore, Human Development Indices are advocated to measure the improvement and status of well-being of the people. The concept of human development focuses on the actual well-being of the people in terms of indicators like education, health-life expectancy, income and gender equity. With financial assistance and support of the Planning Commission, Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme, the State Planning and Coordination Department took the initiative in preparing the District Development Report for three districts in the State – namely Kohima, Phek and Mon. The districts were selected keeping in mind the relative range of development status of the district. The reports have been prepared in consultation with experts and academicians from within and outside the government under the guidance of Dr Manoj Pant, Professor of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. One of the main objectives has been to quantify development sector wise, thus throwing light on areas needing improvement. The report summarizes the overall development of the district. It is hoped that the District Human Development Report will serve as an important tool in planning for growth, social justice, and equity in the districts. This report is also expected to help in reassessing the investment strategy in the future and, if the challenges identified in the report are tackled, the district would be at par with any district in the country. I take this opportunity to thank United Nations Development Programme and the Planning Commission, Government of India for having taken the initiative to foster this partnership with the Government of Nagaland. The credit for the report goes to the experts from outside the Government and the officers of the Government of Nagaland for putting together their collective efforts in order to finalise this publication. I hope that the report will help in reorienting our development strategy in a more meaningful way for the creation of a more equitable and humane quality of life in the districts in particular and in the State of Nagaland as a whole.

    Survey of Wild Animals in Market -Tuensang, Nagaland

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.
