Dimapur: Reiterating the importance of documentation, Nagaland’s lone Lok Sabha MP, S Supongmeren Jamir, during the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting at the Chumoukedima DC’s conference hall on Thursday, asked various departments to maintain proper records of their achievements and ensure accurate data management, as these serve as important indicators of progress and aid effective planning.
Jamir also called for greater convergence among departments to maximise the impact of various government programmes.
Referring to welfare measures under the Labour Department, he urged the department to intensify awareness campaigns in clusters of villages so that workers and youth are well informed about government schemes, particularly those related to eSHRAM registration and labour cards.
Jamir also asked the department to explore ways to extend the benefits of labour welfare schemes to more youth across Nagaland.
He further urged all stakeholders to continue working in close convergence for the overall development of Chumoukedima district.
The DISHA meeting was held to review the implementation of centrally sponsored schemes and developmental activities in the district.
Jamir said the primary objective of the meeting was to assess the progress made by various departments in achieving their targets, identify the challenges encountered in implementation, and collectively find practical solutions to improve developmental outcomes in the district.
He stressed that developmental activities should reach every section of society and that the purpose of the DISHA committee is to strengthen governance and improve service delivery, rather than oppose any department or the state government.
