1. Launching of Customized Marketing Vehicle under  2nd Year  ICDP.

Integrated Cooperative Development Project (ICDP) is a Scheme under National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) where an area development approach is adopted for development of cooperatives.

NCDC accorded sanction in the month of January 2018 for implementation of  ICDP in the districts Kohima, Tuensang, Longleng, Kiphire and Peren for an outlay of Rs.5209.98  Lakhs. The period of project is 4 years.

Few years back, the department started an initiative of registering “One Village One Society” by enrolling one member from each household in the village with the  objective for upliftment of their economic condition.

During the formulation of the ICDP Project, the department observed that the villagers could not dispose off their produces profitably and also find difficulty in bring essential commodities from the market due to lack of proper transportation.

Looking into the needs of these marginal farmers in the village, the department designed this Cooperative Marketing Bus (CMB) with focus on carrying capacity of 60 % for Passengers and 40% for Goods, with the following features.

• All kinds of produce of the village can be transported by this Bus.

(eg. Cereals, grains, tubers, Vegetables, etc.)

• Medium/Small Livestock can be transported by this Bus ( Pigs, Goats, Poultry, etc)
• The vehicle has a seating capacity of 17 passengers which can also be adjusted to accommodate more than 23 passengers when there are lesser goods.
• The vehicle can be used as “Market on Wheel”

The vehicle was build on TATA LP/410 chassis at Kamrup Construction, Guwahati, with an estimated cost of about 23.00 (Twenty three) Lakhs.
