Dear readers, these are the practical and attainable steps the government and administration can take to attain inclusive and holistic development in Nagaland.

• For holistic development in Nagaland, there must be honest assessment of the ground situation. The public just does not trust the government and administration because both these machineries have failed the public. For development to take place, it must first start with building public trust. • Improve road and railway connectivity, economic growth highly depends on proper public transportation and good road infrastructure. • Only need based development should be done and not for politicians• Our state need think tanks and policy research to hold the government accountable and also to guide policy makers.
