A Flower Exhibition, Sales-cum-Workshop on Floriculture was held at Tiyi Town Hall, Wokha on 4th November 2025, organized by Wosenro Okho. The event attracted flower enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and horticulture professionals from across the district, aiming to promote floriculture as a source of income and a means of aesthetic enrichment.
Gracing the programme as the Special Guest, Chumbeni Odyuo, District Soil Conservation Officer (DSCO), Wokha highlighted floriculture as a promising avenue for economic empowerment, especially for women and rural communities, and encouraged participants to explore commercial flower cultivation, citing Nagaland’s favourable climate.

She also appreciated the contributions of Skill Officer, Anuranjan towards youth skill development and community welfare, remarking, “As a flower lover, I feel that without flowers, a home feels incomplete.”
CTO, KVK Wokha, Dr. Mhalo Lungalung spoke on the need to raise awareness about commercialisation and marketing avenues in floriculture, noting that many in Wokha are passionate about flowers but lack access to beneficial platforms.
