The Jayant Skill Centre is envisioned as a multi-purpose facility that will function as a skill development hub, production unit, and marketing platform. It aims to foster market linkages and create sustainable livelihood opportunities by utilising local resources and promoting indigenous craftsmanship.

Speaking at the event, Vikuonuo Sachu, former Miss Nagaland and founder of the Miraculum Society, highlighted the natural abundance of Choklangan. She noted that the village is rich in resources such as honey, water, fertile soil, and a variety of vegetables and herbs.

“Our centre is meant for everyone. We want to take small steps in channelling local products and showcasing the work of our women,” she said, adding that the initiative reflects their motto, “A little bit of everything", which focuses on harnessing village potential and promoting local craftsmanship globally.

The organisers expressed gratitude to the Choklangan Village Council and the community for their continuous support. Special appreciation was extended to Naila for her inspiration and guidance in establishing the centre.
