Nagaland is a small state, with a population of around 20 lakhs, where eight lakhs in the age group of 18-35 years are job seekers. In addition, according to the live register of employment exchange, as on April 30, 2019, there are 73,903 educated unemployed in the state (Department of employment, skill development and entrepreneurship, 2019). The study is focused on Nagaland education on entrepreneurship; the objective is to find the awareness and effectiveness of entrepreneurship education, which is highly encouraged as a part of the regular curriculum (especially for the commerce and management department) for the students. The level of entrepreneurial intentions and skills of college students in the Dimapur district has been studied. Some measures for strengthening entrepreneurship education has been suggested, as it is the key towards improvement of tomorrow, and the most important tool for increasing employment opportunities. This needs to be widely implemented. Today, India’s higher education system produces a large number of graduates every year. However, the economy is not in a position to absorb these graduates, which leads to unemployment of the educated (Pradhan & Sahoo, 2013). With this aspect in mind, entrepreneurship education is widely being encouraged in colleges and universities, with the hope of motivating students to take up entrepreneurship as a career.Keywords
