The Central government in February 2014, gave its nod for the creation of a medical College with Central and State government taking 90% and 10% of the expenses respectively. The Central government sanctioned 189 crores rupees for the construction.[5] The foundation for Nagaland Medical College was laid by the Chief Minister of Nagaland Neiphiu Rio in 2014[6] The sanctioned amount was received in 2015 but construction could not take off due to land issue.[7] In 2018, the land issue was resolved and the land needed for the medical institute was handed over to the government.
