4.6 Key Findings from the Diagnostic Analysis
Macro-economic:
Nagaland‟s GSDP increased at the CAGR of 7.9 per cent between 2004 and 2008. Tertiary sector
made the largest contribution to its GSDP at 58 per cent, followed by primary sector at 27 per cent
and secondary sector at 15 per cent.
While the share of primary sector has declined over the last six years, share of secondary and tertiary
sectors has increased. This is due to the share of trade, hotels and restaurants, real estate, and public
administration.
Agriculture, retail trade and public administration are also the biggest employers in the State.
Manufacturing activity is almost negligible, with manufacturing accounting for about 1.8 per cent of
GSDP.
Industrial activity:
Close to half of the SSIs in the State are concentrated in Dimapur district. These are mainly involved
in furniture, weaving apparel and fabricated metal products.
Industrial activity is low despite the availability of a SEZ, Industrial Estates, Growth Centres and
Industrial Zones.
Demography and employment:
Most of the population at 89 per cent is tribal. Close to 60 per cent of the population is in working age
group and over 36 per cent is in the young age group of 0 to 14 years. This together makes available a
huge pool of workforce in the State, which can be tapped both within and outside the State.
