Dr. Anungla Imdong Phom, Joint Director, DUDA, Government of Nagaland, in her introductory remarks, said that Mongken is to create economic opportunities for local designers, skilled artisans, and craftsmen from Nagaland, special focus on underdeveloped regions in Nagaland. She maintained that the garment sector remains a key area for the state, with immense potential and marketability due to its colourful, exotic motifs and patterns. Mongken would help in patenting these traditional patterns and motifs for conservation and preservation. It will also handle copyright infringement on digital platforms. She also highlighted that Mongken can help in upskilling local weavers and enthusiastic youths in taking up this career path as skilled weavers.
Mongken encourages accountability by imbibing traditional sensibilities of storytelling and respectfulness, an important part of the design and motif of every traditional Naga garment woven by traditional artisans and weavers. Therefore, Mongken garments would reflect these cultural sensibilities, at the same time, made wearable for everyday wear by seamlessly incorporating it into the modern fashion culture.
Lastly, Dr. Anungla emphasised that Mongken will function as a mode through which local products can be marketed by participating in festivals, trade expos organized by TRIFED and other similar agencies. The Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Ltd. (TRIFED) under MOTA will promote it as a collaborative venture while the apparel and clothing line of Mongken will be promoted through the Tribes India outlets across the country.
Attendees lauded the initiative of DUDA as timely and much-needed effort to boost the local economy and offer the world the beautiful traditional patterns and motifs of the Nagas. Designer Atsu Sekhose particularly appreciated the initiative as an important response to the urgency of the time to enter the competitive world of garment and apparel production for the Nagas.
