DIMAPUR — A
district-level awareness workshop on the Uttar Poorva Transformative
Industrialisation Scheme (UNNATI) 2024 and export awareness was organised by
the Department of Industries and Commerce at the Sangtemla Multipurpose Hall,
Mokokchung, on Tuesday.
The workshop was attended by Thsuvisie Phoji, deputy
commissioner of Mokokchung, as the special guest, according to a DIPR report.
Speaking on the occasion, Phoji, in his keynote address,
acknowledged the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs in Nagaland, such as
geographical isolation and infrastructure constraints, which have historically
hindered the implementation of national-level schemes.
He emphasised that UNNATI 2024 is tailored for the
Northeast, urging participation to leverage its benefits. Phoji stressed the
transformative potential of the scheme in promoting entrepreneurship and
improving the district's and state's economic standing.
Earlier, in her welcome address, the general manager of the
District Industries Centre (DIC) Mokokchung, B Asangla, highlighted the challenges
in Nagaland’s industrial development, citing infrastructural deficits as a
significant barrier to progress.
She talked about the UNNATI 2024 scheme, which targets
industrial growth and economic development in the northeastern states and aims
to foster entrepreneurship as a driver of growth.
Asangla underscored the need for awareness to address
existing gaps and encourage broader participation in economic activities.
The workshop included a presentation on export procedures
and documentation by Renbenthung Kikon, inspector, DIC Mokokchung, and a
session on the DAK Niryat Kendra by I Narola Jamir from the Post Office,
Alichen.
