Government of Nagaland
Department of Women Development
Nagaland, Kohima
Section 4 (1)(b) (i) of RTI Act.2005
Particulars of organization, function & Duties:
Introduction:
Recognizing the need to accelerate the empowerment process of women, while also acknowledging the fact that women are now accepted agents of development, during 2003-04 the Directorate of Women Development was created out of the bifurcation of the erstwhile Department of Social Security & Welfare.
With the overall objective of balancing the gender divide, the Department aims at the uplift of women and facilitate her self-dependency while continuing to protect and safeguard her rights and privileges. The financial, human and technological resources required to uplift women are truly enormous- and the logistics involved would be staggering. As such, the Department envisages working in partnership with NGOs to promote a more active and deliberate involvement of women in development. The Dept. recognizes the crucial role that women play and the huge potential especially in the group dynamics of women SHGs. Thus, building on the experience gained while working with grassroots functionaries and support groups, the main thrust of the Department is to; create, develop and strengthen women centred Self Help Groups (SHGs) by expanding and augmenting the present activities and introducing new strategies.
The target group of the Department is; women in difficult circumstances, school and college girl dropouts, women with disabilities, women entrepreneurs, women SHG leaders, grassroots women leaders and women in general. It will also cater to the special needs of commercial sex workers, HIV/AIDs infected and affected women, deserted women, victims of sexual exploitation and marital violence. The activities of the Department, which are mainly focused in addressing the issues and needs of aforementioned women, include:
Ø Training cum Production Centre
Ø Financial Assistance to Destitute Women
Ø Integrated Development cum Research Centre
Ø Rehabilitation cum Support Centre
Ø Nagaland State Women Commission
Ø Women Development Empowerment Programme
Ø Transformative Livelihood Intervention
Section 4 (1)(b) (ii) of RTI Act.2005
Powers and Duties of its officers and employees

As there is no Sectional Officer in the department, she takes the charge of SO in addition to her own duties.
2. DIRECTORATE LEVEL
Additional Director:
The Additional Director is the executive Head of the Department. All matters and administrative decision concerning the department will need the final concurrence of the HOD. The specific duties of the HOD as such cannot be pinpointed, as the HOD’s function is mainly regarding policy matters, while interacting with the Govt., and delegation of work responsibilities and duties to subordinate officers and staff and oversee their progress. The HOD has to ensure that the policies and decisions of the Govt. are given proper interpretation and that the schemes and programmes adopted are being implemented properly.
Work Responsibilities: Addl. Director- Neilavou Keditsu
· Department Appellate Authority (DAA) RTI Act 2005
· Overall supervision and administration of Department
· Framing & interpretation of plan and policy relating to Dept.
· Interaction with Government and policy makers
Joint Director:
The Joint Director is the second-in-command in the department after the Additional Director. He is the main personnel administrator and controls all the officers and staff in the department. It is his chief duty to assist the Additional Director in day-to-day administration of the department and apprise the HOD on the latest development and goings on of the department. In the absence of the Additional Director he assumes the responsibilities of the Additional Director. The practical function and operation of the department is his responsibility. Once the general outline of the tasks at hand is briefed, it is the job of the Joint Director to lead the team of subordinate officers in the actual operation and practical work, down to the nitty-gritty.
Work Responsibilities: Joint Director- T. Haralu
· Public Information Officer (PIO) RTI Act 2005
· Planning & Budget
· P.M’s 15 point programme/Transformative livelihood Intervention
· Gender Sensitisation/ Awareness Generation Programme/NPAG
· Capacity Building/ IDRC & Rehab Centre
· Building & Stationery
Deputy Director:
In the Directorate of Women Development there is one Deputy Director. The Deputy Director is expected to be an expert and conversant and familiar with the subjects that have been delegated to him. His primary job is to look into all details by cutting down unnecessary choices by giving the Additional Director only the bare minimum necessary option to choose from. It is the duty of the Deputy Director to assist and guide the Director in their respective field, with their expertise and knowledge of the subjects. This would enable the Additional Director to make swift decisions, as he would not have to start from scratch.
Work Responsibilities: Deputy Director- Chubathung Odyuo
· Assistant Public Information Officer (APIO) RTI Act 2005
· DDO & Accounts
· Establishment
· Transport & Vehicles
· NSSWB/ Awards
· State Level Meetings/ HOD meetings
· Rural Employment Generation Programme/ KVIC
Assistant Director:
The two Assistant Directors in the department have to do the actual running around and legwork and are think tanks in the department. They play a crucial part in the functioning of the department, as they are the link between the ministerial staff and the officers. It is very important that at their level all files and matters are thoroughly studied and examined minutely. It is from this juncture that the senior officers will depend on the assessments and recommendations of the Assistant Directors, since they themselves cannot spend too much time on the nitty-gritty of particular case.
As the duties and function of the HOD and Joint Director is multifarious, it becomes very difficult for them to give their undivided attention to each and every topic. Thus the Assistant Directors are expected to be proficient and knowledgeable in their respective fields and assist the senior officers. Occasionally they are given independent charges according to the works distribution.
