NSDC Skill Gap Study of the North East - Nagaland
Piggery
Nagaland is one of the highest importers of pig in the country for both meat and breeding purposes.
Piggery is very popular among the rural people in Nagaland. As per the 2007 livestock Census, the State
had 697,793 pigs.
Forest based plantations
Since felling of trees is banned, the Central Government is helping in creating wood plantations along
with district forest departments.
Jatropha / bio-diesel
IT
Locals in Nagaland have also started growing Jatropha for bio-diesel.
Currently, locals lack the skills to extract oil out of this. Thus, they are looking for people outside
the State who can take up this activity.
There is demand for IT skills involving use of arts and crafts such as animation and creative arts
Construction
Roads and bridges are the major areas of construction activities. These projects are funded under several
schemes including PMGSY, MNREGA and NLCPR
Security
Traditionally, Nagas have been warriors. They have the natural ability to be trained as security guards.
The Government is keen to provide such training.
Beautician
Dimapur and Kohima have beauty parlours. There is scope for training beauticians and yoga therapists
who migrate to other parts of the country.
Nursing
A nursing college with capacity of 20 seats has started this year. Most nurses are trained out the state,
such as Assam Nursing College. Radiology technician courses are also to be offered.
