DUDA has set up a retail outlet by the name “Anghya Retail Outlet & Coffee Shop” for ENPO people at Midway Resort on the Highway between Kohima &Dimapur. The Department alongwith ZIS is exploring ways to open retail outlets in metro cities like New Delhi & Guwahati to showcase the finished products of artisans. A market linkage hub is created for entrepreneurs and farmers as an outlet for sales and display of processed food, handicraft & handloom and MFP products.
DUDA endeavoursto create infrastructure for establishment of market linkage hub in eastern Nagaland. This hub will serve as a point of collection and business centre from where the products will be supplied to retail outlets in other States and metro cities.
