Friday, June 26, 2026 (Nokinketer News): The monthly meeting of the Mokokchung District Planning & Development Board (DPDB) was successfully conducted at the Deputy Commissioner’s conference hall on 26th June 2026. The meeting was chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of Mokokchung, Ajit Kumar Verma, IAS.

The proceedings commenced with a thorough review of the minutes from the previous meeting, followed by an official discussion on the action taken report (ATR).

In a landmark humanitarian initiative, the house took a historic decision to adopt tuberculosis (TB) patients to provide critical nutritional support. Members unanimously agreed that every department within the district will adopt a minimum of two patients.

To streamline the funding for this welfare initiative, it was resolved that: The financial contributions for nutritional support will be collected through District Planning Officer N. Chuba Phom. The collected amount will be officially handed over to the Medical Department through the DPDB.

During the session, the board officially reviewed and approved applications for the registration of three new local societies: Society for Economic Elevation and Development (SEED), Changdang Village; MI-Tzü Sustainable and Conservation Society, Alongkima; and Falcon Club, Mangkolemba.

The session featured an informative presentation on social awareness and drug prevention alongside regular departmental updates: Dr. Madhavi R, IAS (Assistant Commissioner and Nodal Officer for the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan-NMBA, Mokokchung), highlighted an observation of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The Executive Engineer, Water Resources Department, delivered a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation detailing their ongoing departmental activities and infrastructure projects.

The house entrusted the Rural Development Department to present its departmental activities during the next board meeting.

The meeting concluded productively with a vote of thanks from the Deputy Commissioner. He expressed his deepest gratitude to all the present board members for extending their selfless cooperation and financial help toward achieving a TB-free district.
