The Department of Women Development was created by redeploying few officers and staff from the erstwhile Social Security & Welfare Dept. during 2003-04 with the vision of the Government of Nagaland to create an agency exclusively to address the particular needs of the Women in Nagaland on matters that are perceived as more native and local.
During 2014-15, the Department was renamed as Women Resource Development with the mandate to “strive towards economic empowerment of women of Nagaland. Take up any activity under any sector that would develop their resources and lead to the enhancement of livelihood options and provide new opportunities to bring in additional income”. In order to achieve this mandate, following activities/ programmes for women are being taken up.
- Awareness Generation and Capacity Building
- Training & Skill Upgradation
- Promotion of Rural & Urban Entrepreneurship
- Livelihood Support Intervention
- Facilitation of Credit and Micro Finance
- Marketing – Training, Support & Linkage
- All ongoing programmes
Since then, the Department of Women Resource Development has been primarily focused and committed to bring about socio-economic development of women through empowerment, facilitation and mobilization of resources to harness their potential to the fullest possible.
