NEIF 2035 is a flagship 10-year mission led by GAME (Global Alliance for Mass Entreprenurship), YouthNet and the Department of Industries & Commerce, with the goal of enabling 10,000 entrepreneurs and creating 50,000 new livelihoods through community-owned enterprises that are ecologically sustainable and financially viable. The mission focuses on high-value sectors where Nagaland’s unique authenticity provides a competitive advantage, including:
- Premium Natural Foods such as wild honey, highland coffee, and GI-tagged Naga King Chili
- Design and Craft Industries, transforming traditional handloom, bamboo, and indigenous artistry into
modern, export-ready products
NEIF 2035 aims to establish 75 active enterprise clusters by 2035 and transition governance to a perma
nent Enterprise & Livelihoods Authority. Through targeted pilots in sectors such as honey, coffee, bamboo,
handloom, handicrafts and eco-tourism, NEIF also strengthens enabling systems including clean energy
access, logistics networks, design innovation and skills development to build a vibrant, community-driven
entrepreneurial economy.
