On June 13, 2023, the Reserve Bank of India inaugurated a sub-office in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, marking its first physical presence in the state. This initiative aims to enhance financial inclusion and regulatory oversight in the North Eastern region. The Kohima sub-office encompasses departments such as the Financial Inclusion and Development Department (FIDD), Consumer Education and Protection Cell (CEPC), Market Intelligence Cell, and Human Resource Management Department (HRMD). While currency management for Nagaland will continue to be handled by the RBI's Guwahati office, the establishment of the Kohima sub-office signifies a strategic move to bolster the central bank's operations in the North East.
