ANCSF urges to implement ICDP scheme

Kohima, May 28 (MExN): The All Nagaland Co-operative Societies Federation (ANCSF), Nagaland has once again urged the Department of Co-operatives, Government of Nagaland to expedite the implementation of Centrally Sponsored Scheme, Integrated Co-operative Development Project (ICDP) in five districts of the state. In a press release, ANCSF said it has been observed that the economy of the co-operatives societies have been remarkably boosted in three districts where ICDP scheme has been implemented.  

ANCSF President, Kedou Wetsah in the press release further appealed to the authority concerned and the Government of Nagaland to lift the blanket ban imposed on NCDC scheme since 2000 by the cabinet. The Government had lifted the ban for a period of one year in 2005.  

ANCSF maintained that banning such Centrally Sponsored Scheme only brings negative impact on the economy of the state and deprives the opportunity of able co-operative societies to venture into activities in different fields.
