From 0 to 31—and we’re just getting started. 🇮🇳🇯🇵
In 2024, Nagaland had zero workers placed in Kochi Prefecture, Japan.
After the MoU in July 2025, 19 candidates were selected and are already working.
By early 2026, 12 more will be deployed through ARMS, bringing the total to 31 skilled workers from Nagaland.
Looking ahead, 65 more opportunities are already in progress.
The Nagaland–Japan Connect (Kochi) was not just an event—it was a signal.
The recent visit by Hojo Kunitoshi, Deputy Director General of Commerce, Industry and Labor, along with 8 Japanese companies, further reinforced this momentum.
These companies—representing Agriculture, Food Processing, Heavy Metal, Machinery, Nursing, Electronics, and Forestry—visited to observe the workforce potential of the North East, with a strong focus on Nagaland.
Nagaland is no longer waiting for opportunity.
Nagaland is proving its potential—and Japan is taking notice. ✨
