Abstract

This paper aims to report on prioritisation of developmental activities carried out by those non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which are working for all round development of Nagaland, India. In this study, 120 employees of 45 identified NGOs of Nagaland, India, were included and considered as respondents. Five developmental activities were identified and presented in ten possible pairs (combinations) to the respondents and they were asked to select one over the other from each pair separately, which were considered more preferable from their point of view. After that, method of Paired Comparisons was followed to establish the hierarchy of developmental activities. As per scale value, development of 'health' sector is the highly preferred activity, 'education' is the second preferred and 'development of livestock' is the least preferred activity.
