The Nagaland Village Council (Third Amendment) Act, 2002

The Nagaland Village Council (Third Amendment) Act, 2002 is a brief state legislative amendment that applies across the entire state of Nagaland. It amends Section 12 of the principal Nagaland Village Council Act by inserting the subject of power alongside existing local responsibilities such as roads and forests. By explicitly adding power to the designated functions and authorities of village councils, the amendment formally expands local community governance over power infrastructure and utility management. This allows village councils to legally manage, oversee, or make decisions regarding power administration within their respective village jurisdictions, empowering local bodies in essential service management.
