Connectivity remains a challenge – which explains why both the Central and the State Governments have stepped up activities to overhaul the physical infrastructure and transform Nagaland into an industrially developed and commercial vibrant state. Recently, the State Government announced its new industrial policy to attract investments, create a strong culture of entrepreneurship and generate employment. In an attempt to promote and facilitate faster industrialization and urbanization on the foothill areas, Nagaland has adopted the State Nagaland Special Development Zones (NSDZs).
