Convergence Program
The Department of Cooperation has taken the initial steps to concretize the much-desired convergence program of Agri and Allied activities through the organization of specialized and department specific cooperative societies. Convergence of Agri Department’s organic initiatives, livelihood programs of NSRLM, bee keeping activities of NBHM, common service centers under I.T department etc, resulted in framing of specialized byelaws and registering these cooperatives as legal entities under the Nagaland Cooperative Societies Act 2017.
