On Wednesday, Nagaland’s Minister of Higher Education and Tribal Affairs Temjen Imna Along shared a video which documented the rice cultivation that takes place in terrace farms of Nagaland. As per the video, almost 80 per cent of agricultural land in Nagaland is used for rice farming. The video explains how farming is difficult in the state as it is a mountainous region.

These crops are cultivated on terrace farms, which were painstakingly built by locals after cutting the hills into small plots of flat receding land. These farms are created in such a way that they retain the rainwater which is needed to grow rice. Sometimes the farmers also make use of indigenously made bamboo pipes to irrigate the farms.

नीयत तेरी अच्छी है तो, किस्मत तेरी दासी हैं,
कर्म तेरे अच्छे है तो घर में मथुरा काशी हैं।

Commenting on the video, a Twitter user wrote, “Thanks for providing a window to the charming beauty of Nagaland, would love to have the same about the other North East states as well”. Another person said, “The more I see your post, the more I am looking forward to my trip during #Hornbill festival. Hope to meet you too @AlongImna”.

Along frequently promotes the culture of his native state through his social media account. Earlier in August, he shared a video of him shaking a leg with folk dancers during the Tsungremmong celebrations. Tsungremmong is a week-long harvest festival that is celebrated to mark the end of the farming season. During the festival, people organise communal gatherings that comprise group dances and musical performances.
