The Nagaland Entrepreneurship Impact Forward (NEIF) seeks to catalyse a statewide transformation in livelihoods, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic development by enabling 10,000 entrepreneurs, generating 50,000 livelihoods, and facilitating economic opportunities for Nagaland’s entrepreneurs by 2035.
NEIF proposes a set of integrated interventions that bring together the state, markets, and communities in a coordinated, long-term effort. These include sector-focused interventions in honey, coffee, king chilli, crafts, and eco-tourism; while strengthening cross-cutting enablers, including credit and finance systems, renewable energy solutions, product standardization infrastructure, design residencies, market access, and logistics.
The Department of Industries and Commerce, YouthNet, and Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (GAME) have partnered to accelerate entrepreneurship and build a sustainable community driven enterprise economy through NEIF by 2035.
The initiative was formally launched by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Nagaland on 1st December 2025.
