In November 2024, Nagaland's Chief Minister (CM) Neiphiu Rio inaugurated a series of important initiatives at the Investment and Development Authority of Nagaland (IDAN), located at the Capital Convention Centre in Kohima, Nagaland. These initiatives aim to boost the state's tourism, transport, agriculture, and entrepreneurial sectors.
- The CM launched Ura Cabs, a local taxi platform designed to offer easy travel experiences for both tourists and local taxi operators.
- The CM also flagged off new tourism vehicles under the Nagaland Tourism Connect Scheme. This event marks the completion of extensive tourism training programs in preparation for the 25th Hornbill Festival, which will be celebrated from December 1-10, 2024, at Kisama, Nagaland.
- Digital Piggery Insurance, developed with IRDAI and Tata AIG, is an app-based system simplifying registration and claims for piggery farmers, while entrepreneurs benefit from a 12% vehicle purchase discount and up to a 42% subsidy under the CM's Microfinance Initiative (CMMFI).
