The Nagaland government has approved the purchase of a 50‑acre parcel to build an integrated waste centre, aiming to improve solid‑waste handling across the state.
The state administration of Nagaland announced that it will acquire a 50‑acre tract of land to develop an integrated waste management centre. The site, identified by the government, will host facilities for collection, segregation, processing and disposal of municipal solid waste.
Officials said the centre is intended to address the growing waste‑generation problem in urban and semi‑urban areas, reducing illegal dumping and improving public health. By centralising treatment operations, the project is expected to boost recycling rates and generate energy from waste.
The acquisition process is slated to begin this quarter, with funding earmarked from the state’s environmental budget and central government schemes. Detailed project plans, including construction timelines and contractor selection, will be released in the coming weeks.
Stakeholders, including local municipalities and environmental NGOs, have welcomed the move, noting that a dedicated facility will streamline waste handling and align Nagaland with national solid‑waste management guidelines.
The government aims to have the centre operational within two years, positioning Nagaland as a pioneer in sustainable waste solutions among North‑Eastern states.
