John highlighted that the objectives of the consultation include understanding diverse stakeholder perspectives, conducting sectoral assessments, identifying critical issues and bottlenecks, and ensuring that the needs of vulnerable groups are addressed in line with the principle of “leaving no one behind.”
He informed that the discussions would focus on five thematic pillars—economic development, social development, environmental sustainability, infrastructure development, and governance and institutional strengthening.
He urged participants to come prepared with relevant data, case studies, and structured inputs, particularly reflecting on sectoral developments over the past decade.
The DC emphasised the importance of reviewing key changes, identifying limiting factors, and highlighting areas where progress has been lacking, in order to generate meaningful insights on sectoral trends, challenges, and opportunities.
John welcomed the team from the Nagaland Institute of Transformation (NIoT) and acknowledged their pivotal role in conducting the workshop.
He noted that NIoT, under the Department of Planning and Transformation, is the state’s premier think tank, supported by NITI Aayog under its State Support Mission.
He added that the institute serves as a knowledge hub for strategic planning and policy innovation, promoting evidence-based policymaking while aligning the state’s developmental priorities with national goals.
The DCD urged all participants to actively engage in the discussions and provide constructive feedback so that the outcomes of the workshop truly reflect the ground realities of the district.
