The establishment of and IISER in Nagaland was announced in the Union Budget of 2015- 16, but unfortunately because of various reasons couldn't be taken forward, the Governor said.
An IISER in Nagaland could give the state a national institute of importance and prove to be an immense help in promoting science and maths education and research in the entire region, the Governor noted.
