Women entrepreneurs in Nagaland posted sales of ₹1.14 crore at a recent bazaar, marking a 63% increase over the previous period.
The annual bazaar in Nagaland saw women‑run enterprises generate total sales of ₹1.14 crore, according to figures released by local organisers. This turnover represents a 63% jump compared with the same event held last year, highlighting growing consumer interest in locally made products.
Organisers attributed the surge to a combination of expanded product ranges, improved marketing and increased participation from women traders across the state. Many vendors reported higher footfall and stronger demand for traditional handicrafts, organic food items and ethnic apparel.
The performance underscores the rising economic contribution of women entrepreneurs in the North‑East, a sector that has been encouraged by state‑level skill‑development programmes and micro‑finance support.
Stakeholders said the upward trend could attract further investment and inspire more women to start small‑scale enterprises, reinforcing Nagaland’s broader goal of inclusive growth.
The bazaar will continue for the next two days, offering a platform for additional sellers to showcase their goods and for buyers to experience the region’s cultural diversity.
