GENERAL (Table 1.1-1.12) 1.1 Introduction Nagaland, the Sixteenth State of the Indian Union, Was Inaugurated on the 1 December 1 GENERAL (Table 1.1-1.12) 1.1 Introduction Nagaland, the Sixteenth State of the Indian Union, was inaugurated on the 1st December 1963. Physical feature The State of Nagaland lies between 2506' and 2704' latitude North of Equator and between 93020' and 95015' East of longitudinal lines, covering an area of 16579sq.km. The State is bounded by Assam in the North and West, by Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh in the East and Manipur in the South and runs parallel to the bank of Brahmaputra. The topography is very severe, full of hills ranges. The altitude varies between 194metres and 3048metres above sea level. Many villages and towns stand at 1000 to 2000 metres high as it is a hilly state. The Nagas build their houses on top of the hills and at higher elevations because of security reason in the earlier days. The highest peak in the state is Mt. Saramati, measuring 3840metres above the sea level. Other important mountains are Japfu and Pauna. Mt. Japfu is in Kohima district and Mt. Pauna is in Peren district. Their heights are 3014 and 2841 metres respectively. Nagaland is a hilly state. The plain area is limited only to Dimapur, Jalukie and adjoining area with Assam. The people The people are called “Nagas”. The nomenclature “Naga” has been in used for many generations, even before they migrated to their present habitation. The scholars have been trying hard to dig out the root meaning of the word “Naga” in recent times. There are several theories on the origin and the meaning of the word “Naga”. However, it is yet to be agreed upon to a particular theory. It appears that the Nagas did not called themselves by the name Naga and they did not have a common name for the whole community till the American missionaries and Britishers came to their land. Later on, they accepted the name “Naga” as their own and they loved to be and proud to be called Nagas. They belong to the Mongolian race. According to the 2001 census, the population of Nagaland is 1988636(P). Out of this,82.26% of the population is in rural. The density of population is 120per sq.km. The Nagas are tribal. There are several tribes and sub-tribes among them. They have their own distinctive dialects and cultures. The major tribes of Nagaland are Angami, Ao, Chakhesang, Chang, Khiamnungan, Konyak, Lotha, Phom, Pochury, Rengma, Sangtam, Sema, Yimchunger, Zeliang,etc. Livelihood pattern Agriculture is the most important activity of the people. Nagas practice chiefly jhum cultivation. However they have started terrace cultivation, comparatively in recent times and the State Government is encouraging them to start terrace cultivation in many ways. Among the Naga tribes, Angami, Chakhesang and Zeliang practice terraced cultivation on large scale. Besides agriculture, people engage themselves in weaving, blacksmith and other handicrafts to meet their daily requirements during off- season. 1.2 GOVERNMENT OF NAGALAND Shri.

  • 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.
