Today marks a significant milestone for the Department of Agriculture, Government of Nagaland, as the Nagaland Agriculture Policy–2025 was formally presented in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly following Cabinet approval. With the visionary leadership and support of our Hon’ble Chief Minister, Dr. Neiphiu Rio, Nagaland now has a comprehensive Agriculture Policy after 63 years of statehood, reflecting the present realities, opportunities, and challenges of the sector. The next crucial step is to translate the policy into action through Government notification, clear implementation plans, alignment and convergence of schemes, adequate budgetary support, and effective monitoring. The Department remains committed to working with all stakeholders to realize the vision of the Nagaland Agriculture Policy–2025 for the long-term growth and prosperity of our farming community. @Neiphiu_Rio @ChouhanShivraj @AgriGoI @MyGovNagaland @AgriNgl @ambajamir
#AssameseThali One of the true delights of road trips across India is savouring regional flavors at roadside dhabas—humble, locally run eateries that serve traditional food rooted in the land and its people. Road journeys through Assam have always held a special charm. The Assamese thali, presented as a harmonious spread on a simple metal platter, is a celebration of the state’s rustic abundance. Rather than relying on overpowering spices, it highlights the natural flavors of fresh local greens and seasonal ingredients. It is this understated purity that makes it true soul food of Northeast India. These local cuisines offers so much knowledge about nutrition, sustainability and resilience. #tradionalFood #Thali #AssameseFood

A fitting way to wrap up an eventful month, October “-fest” of food-systems work! I had the opportunity to attend the Food Systems Countdown Initiative’s India Adaptation Workshop on 31 October 2025 at the UN House, New Delhi. It has been a privilege to be part of this process since the beginning of the year, and I’ve truly valued the meaningful deliberations led by GAIN India throughout. Looking forward to seeing the final outcome of this much-needed indicator framework for stronger, more resilient food systems.
