If their region is facilitated with smooth transport similar to other regions, they will have a wider scope of knowledge on how to develop their regions.

Currently, the Naga region faces insufficiency of food because of difficulties to expand the sown acreage of paddy fields. As such, local ethnic people are to strive for increasing per-acre yield of paddy on the highland farmlands in the hilly areas in terrace forms without using the traditional cultivation methods while growing konjac to be supplied as food for the people.
Moreover, local authorities need to emphasize the cultivation of tea and coffee to become trademarks of the Naga region in the market in addition to the production of orange and other crops. If local ethnics are dutiful for extended production of crops and products, the Union government is ready to provide assistance for them to have greater development.
