Described by NSRLM Mission Director Moa Sangtam as a pivotal opportunity to accelerate enterprise development, the strategic collaboration will deliver tailored technology, branding, marketing assistance, and expanded professional networks based on ground-level needs. The initiative is structured around three core focus areas: incubating food processing enterprises across Dimapur, Kohima, Peren, and Phek districts; establishing a dedicated &#8220;Champion Network&#8221; to mentor leaders in agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries, and non-timber forest product-based businesses; and scaling access to decentralized renewable energy and productive technologies through the &#8220;Grow DRE&#8221; initiative. Through these targeted interventions, the partnership is projected to directly empower and support 500 rural women entrepreneurs every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nagaland State Rural Livelihoods Mission (NSRLM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":4575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nagaland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4574"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4576,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4574\/revisions\/4576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
