@LimabenJamir @nellayappan Yep. In the state IHDS interviewed primarily Dimapur region. And the sample size is really small. Less than 100 households.

[Resem Makan @ResemMakan]

@nellayappan @LimabenJamir Good point. I should’ve been more accurate and said ‘Dimapur District area’ where the border with Golaghat district is fairly porous and not too strictly defined. As is clear from the map Golaghat does appear darker. In any case the overall percentage for the state is small.

In my first year, I attended a macro seminar where the speaker referenced the “Lucas model” and someone from the audience asked, “Which one”? I later understood what that meant.

Bob was such a giant in macroeconomics that he expanded our understanding in many unique ways with many pathbreaking “Lucas models.” He kept contributing until the end. His most recent model of “learning from human interactions” gave me new directions to think about economic growth.

Goodbye Bob, thanks for everything you have done for the profession, for @UChi_Economics , and thanks for being such a great example for many of us who, thanks to you, could not think about anything else but economic growth.

@RitaKrocha @authormadhulika @BharathanVinod Looks great. What village is that pictured btw?

“The one thing that is immediately apparent is how the community leaders came together in terms of thinking about education way back in the 1930s when the rest of the state or even the country for that matter, was not exactly thinking about education"

Kuou Kesiezie passed away today having lived to 110.
She was independent, well loved and full of spunk when she shared her WWII story with me at 108. She is part of a generation that bore the scars of a war we hadn't been exposed to before. Rest in peace.

@Rongsenben I’m taking several trips up and down that road in 2 weeks time 😩.

[Resem Makan @ResemMakan]

@shakchunni_ @Geo_Gingerbeard I’m seeing grey hairs already 😓.

@FabioGhironi You'll get through this, Fabio!

@reireireireiz Indeed. Many other fascinating things I've come to learn. Like how hill terrace cultivation is clustered in the Senapati-Kohima-Phek-Ukhrul region, a result of cultural learning.

[Resem Makan @ResemMakan]

@reireireireiz I think it might be because the Tamenglong and Cachar Hills area had long trade relations with the Jaintia Kingdom during the pre-British era. And so there must've been cultural exchanges. Another example is salt trade between many regions. And not to forget, war exchanges too :)

@TVNinan1 We haven't gotten to this stage yet. But soon....
