Nagaland - Investment and Industrial
Policies
Bamboo
Policy
Bamboo is found extensively in Nagaland.
It occurs as a predominant plant in parts of the districts
of Dimapur, Peren, Mon and Mokokchung; it is found mixed
with other forest species in all other districts. About
5% of the growing stock of bamboo of the country is in Nagaland
which is about 4,48,000 hectares.
The dominant species in Nagaland are
Kako (Dendrocalamus hamiltonii), Dolo (Teinostachyum dulloa)
and Jati (Bambusa tulda). They occur all along the lower
belts in the border with Assam. While Kakoo and Daloo clumps
are characterised in moist localities along the nalas and
streams, Jati occupies better-drained sites. In more accessible
localities along the roads bamboos have been over cut while,
in other areas they have been left untouched for may years.
Hence there is huge potential for the bamboo industry in
the state.

IT
Policy of Nagaland - 2004
Information Technology has emerged as
the single most important enabler for improving efficiency
and effectiveness of organizations. ‘Electronic Governance’
is the term that is being used as a synonym to describe
an IT driven system of governance that works better, costs
less and is capable of serving the citizens’ needs.
Recognizing the enormous potential of IT, major initiatives
are being planned by Government of India and several State
Governments.
It is the intention of the Government
of Nagaland to consolidate its efforts and to focus its
energies to leverage the potential of IT for the benefit
of its people. With a view to attain this objective, a comprehensive
‘IT Policy of Nagaland - 2004’ has been prepared.
This document also attempts to develop a medium term IT
road map of the State.
