About the Department
It was in 1952 when the present day Nagaland was still part of an undivided Assam that the Community Development Programme was first introduced by the Govt. of India to carry out integrated rural development all over India.
The origin of the institution of the VDB with the concept of decentralized grassroots level planning in Nagaland was first set up in December 1976 in Ketsapomi village in Phek district on an experimental basis. On seeing the success of the Ketsapomi VDB, a mass campaign was launched since 1980 to expand the coverage of this unique institution throughout the State.
