DIMAPUR — A group of ten Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer trainees of the 2025 batch visited the Nagaland Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM) in Chümoukedima on March 20 as part of their winter study tour.
According to a DIPR report, the team was led by Ira Jorwal, group leader, and Neelesh Goyal, associate group leader.
During the visit, the officer trainees were briefed on the activities and initiatives undertaken by NBHM to promote beekeeping in the state. They were encouraged to act as “bee ambassadors” and spread awareness on the importance of honey bees and the potential of beekeeping as a sustainable livelihood option.
The trainees also held an interactive session with NBHM officials, during which they enquired about various aspects of beekeeping, including production, processing, and marketing.
