Nagaland economic development and structural challenges

Overview

Nagaland is addressing various economic development and structural challenges. The state government is working to establish a Live Entertainment Economy Framework to transform the entertainment sector into a driver for tourism, employment, and revenue through large-scale events.

Simultaneously, the state faces significant financial hurdles. Structural issues include a lack of banking access in 14 of the state’s 76 blocks and a low credit-deposit ratio of 46.71%. Officials have noted that the special land system under Article 371A, which protects Naga customary law, complicates commercial lending by making land difficult to use as collateral. Additionally, there are calls for more region-sensitive policies regarding food security indicators to better reflect local agricultural practices.
