Textile, Handicraft & Handloom

The Textile, Handicraft & Handloom sector in Nagaland is a vital part of the state’s economy, reflecting its rich cultural heritage. Known for its intricate weaves and vibrant designs, Nagaland’s handloom products include shawls, scarves, and tribal garments that are highly valued both locally and internationally. Government initiatives aimed at skill development, capacity building, and market access have resulted in a 12% increase in sectoral income over the past five years. This sector not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also provides significant employment opportunities, especially for women, thereby playing a crucial role in the socio-economic development of Nagaland.
