The aspirations of our common people define the quality of Nagaland - they are the true brand ambassadors of our state," state Tourism and Higher Education Minister, Temjen Imna Along , said.
QCI Chairperson Jaxay Shah emphasised the role of ‘Gunvatta Sankalp’ in empowering states through quality-driven reforms.

"I am confident that through the discussions at Gunvatta Sankalp today, we will uncover new pathways to embed quality into Nagaland’s journey towards a developed future. QCI will support, collaborate, and ensure that Nagaland’s unique identity and strengths are amplified through quality-driven initiatives," Shah added.
