बहुत खूबसूरत है नागालैंड--आओ ज़रा देख कर तो आएं

कितने दिन में कितना खर्चा होगा और कैसे आना जाना है यह सब पढ़िए यहां पर

चंडीगढ़//कोहिमा: 5 अक्टूबर 2024: (के के सिंह-मीडिया लिंक//नागालैंड स्क्रीन डेस्क)::

आम तौर पर्यटन की इच्छा रखने वालों का ध्यान देश के उत्तरपूर्वी राज्यों की तरफ बहुत कम जाता है। वास्तव में पूर्वोत्तर भारत खूबसूरत जगहों का बहुत है। जहां  प्राकृतिक सुंदरता बार बार बुलाती है। वहां के जन जीवन की  विविधता हर दिल को आकर्षित करती है। कुछ लोगों को वहां के बारे में गलतफहमियां भी होती हैं  वहां सैलानी के तौर पर जाने की पूरी जानकारी भी नहीं होती। हम आपको बताएंगे नागालैंड में पर्यटन का सही राह और ढंग तरीका। नागालैंड के खूबसूरत पर्यटन स्थल और उन तक पहुंचने के लिए आसान मार्ग भी उपलब्ध हैं। इस सारे पर्यटन प्रोजेक्ट पर कितना कितना खर्चा आएगा हम यह भी बताएंगे। कितने खर्चे में आप कितने दिन में आप  सकेंगे हम यह भी बताने की करेंगे।

हम एक बार फिर दोहरा दें कि नागालैंड पूर्वोत्तर भारत का एक बेहद खूबसूरत राज्य है, जो अपने प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य, समृद्ध संस्कृति और परंपराओं के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। यहां कई आकर्षक पर्यटन स्थल हैं, जिन्हें आप कुछ दिनों में ही  आराम से देख सकते हैं। मुख्य पर्यटन स्थलों और वहां तक पहुंचने के मार्ग के बारे में जानकारी इस प्रकार है। सबसे पहले हम बात  कोहिमा की। 

नागालैंड की बात करें तो कोहिमा खुद में ही बहुत विशेष है और कोहिमा वॉर सेमेट्री तो बहुत ही। यह स्थल द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान शहीद हुए सैनिकों की स्मृति में बनाया गया है। यहां थोड़ा सा ध्यान मग्न होते ही आप अनुभव कर सकेंगे युद्ध के उस बेहद  भयावह समय वह दर्द। उस   बलि ले ली इसका सही शायद  सके।   

नागालैंड में एक और विशेष गांव भी है जिसे त्सेमिन्यु विलेज कहा जाता है। अंगामी जनजाति की परंपराओं और संस्कृति को जानने का ही बेहतरीन स्थान है।  अंगामी जनजाति के जनजीवन की परंपराओं और संस्कृति की महक आप  में बहुत , महसूस कर सकेंगे। 

झीलें शायद आप ने भी बहुत देखी होंगीं लेकिन दिजू लेक का जलवा तो बिलकुल ही अलग। यह एक एक खूबसूरत पहाड़ी झील, जो प्रकृति प्रेमियों के लिए आदर्श भी कही जा सकती है।

कोहिमा तक कैसे पहुंचें यह सवाल भी बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। हवाई  निकटतम हवाई अड्डा है दीमापुर। दीमापुर हवाई अड्डा कोहिमा से लगभग 70 किमी की दूरी पर है। 

लेकिन दीमापुर कैसे पहुंचा जाए तो यह जानना भी ज़रूरी। इसकी चर्चा भी हम करेंगे ही। दीमापुर से टैक्सी या बस द्वारा आप लोग कोहिमा पहुंच सकते हैं। टैक्सी का एकतरफा किराया अनुमानता ₹2000-3000 होगा। यह दर कभी कभार कम ज़्यादा भी हो सकती है। 

अब आती है कोहिमा से दीमापुर जाने की बात। इस पर भी समय तो  लेकिन कितना? समय की बात भी आवश्यक  है। आम तौर पर दीमापुर से कोहिमा पहुंचने में लगभग 2-3 घंटे लगते हैं।

नागालैंड में इस पहली ही ट्रिप पर खर्च की बात करें तो होटल  में रहने का खर्च  ₹2000-₹5000 प्रति रात आ सकता है। होटल के मुताबिक कुछ कम ज़्यादा भी संभव है। इस तरह भोजन पर ₹500-₹1000 प्रति दिन दिन आ।  इस मामले में भी कम ज़्यादा की संभावना बानी रहती है। इसके साथ साथ लोकल आवाजाई का खर्चा भी होता है। स्थानीय यात्रा: ₹500-₹1000 प्रति दिन के हिसाब से पड़ सकती है। कुछ और स्थान और कुछ और बातें हम आपको अलग पोस्ट  में बताने  वाले हैं।

Chandigarh//Kohima: 5th October 2024: (KK Singh-Media Link//Nagaland Screen Desk)::

Generally, people who want to travel pay very little attention to the northeastern states of the country. In fact, Northeast India is full of beautiful places. Where natural beauty calls again and again. The diversity of the life of the people there attracts every heart. Some people also have misconceptions about that place and do not have complete information about going there as a tourist. We will tell you the right way and method of tourism in Nagaland. Beautiful tourist places of Nagaland and easy routes to reach them are also available. We will also tell how much will be the cost of this entire tourism project.

Let us reiterate once again that Nagaland is a very beautiful state of Northeast India, which is famous for its natural beauty, rich culture and traditions. There are many attractive tourist places here, which you can easily visit in a few days. Information about the main tourist places and the route to reach there is as follows. First of all, let us talk about Kohima.

Talking about Nagaland, Kohima is very special in itself and Kohima War Cemetery is very special. This place has been built in the memory of the soldiers who died during the Second World War. As soon as you meditate here, you will be able to experience the pain of that very horrific time of war. You can perhaps understand the sacrifice made.

There is another special village in Nagaland called Tseminyu Village. It is the best place to know the traditions and culture of the Angami tribe. You will be able to feel the fragrance of the traditions and culture of the life of the Angami tribe.

You may have seen many lakes, but the charm of Diju Lake is completely different. This is a beautiful mountain lake, which can also be called ideal for nature lovers.

The question of how to reach Kohima is also very important. The nearest airport is Dimapur. Dimapur airport is about 70 km from Kohima.

But it is also important to know how to reach Dimapur. We will also discuss this. You can reach Kohima by taxi or bus from Dimapur. The one-way fare of the taxi will be approximately ₹ 2000-3000. This rate can sometimes be less or more.

Now comes the matter of going from Kohima to Dimapur. Time is also important here, but how much? Time is also important. Generally it takes about 2-3 hours to reach Kohima from Dimapur.

Talking about the expenses on this first trip to Nagaland, the cost of staying in a hotel can be ₹ 2000-₹ 5000 per night. Depending on the hotel, some less or more is also possible. In this way, food will cost ₹500-₹1000 per day. In this case also there is a possibility of more or less. Along with this, there is also the cost of local travel. Local travel: can cost ₹500-₹1000 per day.

State level inter-departmental coordination committee meeting held at Kohima

The meeting addressed several key issues 

Kohima: 3rd October 2024: (DIPR//Nagaland Screen Desk)::

A State-level Inter-Departmental Coordination Committee (IDCC) meeting took place at the Conference Hall of the Directorate of Economics & Statistics, Kohima on 3rd October 2024. The meeting addressed several key issues related to the registration of births and deaths in Nagaland, as well as efforts to improve the Civil Registration System (CRS) across the state.

Registration Centers in Nagaland

As of March 31, 2023, Nagaland operates 1,471 registration centers, with 1,439 located in rural areas and 32 in urban areas. In rural areas, each recognized village has a registration unit managed by the Head Teacher of the Government Primary School, who serves as the Registrar for births and deaths. In addition, registration units are present at Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs).

Urban areas, particularly district headquarters, have registration units located in the District Registrar's offices, typically headed by the District Economics and Statistics Officer. Units are also available in government district hospitals, municipal offices, and town councils. To facilitate operations, Statistical Staff such as Inspectors of Statistics and Field Investigators assists in managing these urban registration units.

Key Agenda Points Discussed in the 12th IDCC Meeting were:

Delayed Registration of Births and Deaths: The state’s high share of delayed birth registrations—beyond 21 days—was a focal point of discussion. A government notification dated September 20, 2024, mandates that indigenous inhabitants register births within six months as part of the process for applying for an Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate (IIC). The meeting addressed the need to streamline delayed registrations and the necessary documentary proof.

Sensitization on Birth and Death Registration: Despite an increase in the number of registered births and deaths, there remains room for improvement. Stakeholders from educational institutions, medical centers, village development boards (VDBs), and Anganwadi centers were urged to raise awareness on the importance of timely registration.

Training Programs at Block Level: The meeting emphasized the need for seminar-cum-training sessions for CRS functionaries, including Registrars, Notifiers, and Informants, to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities. Inter-departmental coordination is seen as crucial to the success of this initiative.

Online Registration of Births and Deaths: With the introduction of an online registration portal under the Office of the Registrar General of India (ORGI), the IDCC stressed the need for CRS functionaries to have access to smartphones, computers, and the internet for effective implementation.

System of Reporting: The meeting called attention to delays in the submission of reports to the ORGI due to anomalies in the current reporting system. Registrars are required to submit their reports to the District Economics & Statistics Office, but improvements in this process were discussed.

Honorarium and Incentives: The committee discussed the importance of providing honorarium and incentives to Registrars of Births and Deaths to ensure better coordination and motivation.

Inclusion of Government Middle and High School Teachers: A proposal to include Government Middle School and High School teachers as Registrars was also considered to enhance the efficiency of the registration process.

The meeting concluded with calls for continued efforts to improve the overall civil registration process in Nagaland, particularly through greater coordination between departments and the adoption of new technologies.
