Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said during the inauguration of Chümoukedima district on 29 June 2022 that “Chumoukedima district would be called the “land of opportunities”, because there are well established central institutions — three universities as well as good colleges — health facilities, and good connectivity, “which have huge potential for economic activities.”
The CM said that Chumoukedima district would become an intellectual hub and a highly economically viable district. He also said that Dimapur remains a ‘miniature India’ because it houses all the nationalities while Chumoukedima can be called a ‘mini Nagaland’, and thus expressed hope that there will be unity and progress as “we dream of good things for us and for the future”.
In another significant step, the government had decided that the Commissioner of Police, Dimapur will look after the three districts because it is “too easy for the law breakers to commit crime in one district and move into another district”.
Chümoukedima has good potential with scope for rampant economic activities. It only depends on proper planning and policy decisions.
