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.

E- mail: Abstract: Northeastern India, one of the Ichthyofaunal hot spot areas of our country, is marked by the presence of varied freshwater fishes,a few adapted to torrential waterflow. River Dhansiri is an important river of Dimapur District of Nagaland, India, which flows through Nagaland –Assam border harbouring rich aquatic flora and fauna. Very little studies have been carried out to document the fish biodiversity of the Dhansiri river till date. In the present study an attempt has been made common.to access the piscine diversity of this river. The survey results in finding of species of 34 fishes belonging to five (5) orders, thirteen (13) families and twenty four (24) genera. Cyprniformes is the dominant order while Osteoglossiformes is the least Introduction reported from Nagaland (Ao et al. 1988).

  • Government of Nagaland
    GOVERNMENT OF NAGALAND BUDGET SPEECH of Shri Neiphiu Rio Chief Minister, Minister-In-Charge, Finance For 2021-22 Kohima, the 18th February 2021 Speaker Sir, I rise to present the Nagaland Budget for the year 2021-22 before this August House. 2. Speaker Sir, twelve months ago, when I rose to present the budget for the previous fiscal, the world was a very different place. Since March 2020, the entire planet has undergone unprecedented change, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The entire world has been deeply affected in every sphere of human activity. The Government sector was no exception and despite all efforts, many key activities of the Government were affected, some adversely and some for the better. 3. Despite these circumstances, we are greatly encouraged to see that India has managed to come out with a vaccine in record time. As the vaccination programme spread sits coverage, I am confident that we can look forward to better times ahead. Our country has all the positive attributes to attain a high rate of growth, and we will surely regain our position as one of the fastest growing economies in the world within a short time. It is our endeavour that Nagaland too must be part of India’s growth story. 4. The main impact of the pandemic was on the economic sector. It has seriously impacted the livelihood and income of the people as well as the income and financial health of the Government. We have now learnt that during the first quarter April-June of 2020-21the Indian economy contracted by 23.90%.

  • An Empirical Investigation Ankush Agrawal
    Nagaland’s Demographic Somersault: An Empirical Investigation Ankush Agrawal Vikas Kumar Abstract Nagaland’s population decreased during 2001–11 after growing at abnormally high rates during the past few decades. This is the first time since independence that a state in India has witnessed an absolute decline in population. In this context, the paper examines the census population estimates for internal consistency. It also tries to validate the census estimates using information on birth and death rates from other demographic surveys and information on gross school enrolment (6–14 years population) and the electorate (adult population). The paper also checks if illegal/unaccounted international immigration and politically-motivated manipulation could explain the abnormal changes in Nagaland’s population. The paper shows that the Census substantially overestimated Nagaland’s population during 1981–2001 and, by implication, questions the sanctity of the Census. Keywords: Census, India, migration, Naga, over-count, political economy of statistics JEL Codes: J11, J13, 015, R23 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful to Bina Agarwal, S. Chandrasekhar, R. N. Chhipa, Vikram Dayal, Kunal Ghosh, Chandan Gowda, Sanjoy Hazarika, Sabyasachi Kar, Bhaskar Mishra, Arup Mitra, Theja Therieh, B. G.
