Nagaland

Gateway to the Land of Hornbills. Cost of living is moderately priced. English is Nagaland's official language and widely spoken in government offices — a significant advantage for PSU transferees. Hindi is commonly understood in commercial areas. The large migrant business community means outsiders settle in quickly. More cosmopolitan than the state capital Kohima.

Land of the Angamis. Cost of living is one of India's more affordable options. ILP required. English widely spoken (official language). PSU postings common but social integration varies.
