Kamjong has Tangkhul Naga textile traditions and grows the Shirui Lily and other rare hill flowers. A producer cluster combining textile and ornamental flower bulb sales gives the same households two seasonal revenue streams.

Kamjong's Tangkhul community produces handwoven textiles with intricate red-black patterns; the area also hosts hill flora including Shirui Lily (the state flower) and other rare lilies. Both economies are subsistence-scale today. A combined cluster — textile production for D2C boutique sales, plus ornamental bulb supply to metro nurseries and high-end gardeners — gives weaving households dual income streams that complement seasonally.
Capex of ₹4–10 lakh covers shared looms, basic bulb storage, and packaging. The NER Textile Promotion Scheme + Mission Organic Value Chain Development for NE jointly cover capex and SHG support. Hard parts: protected-species clearances for Shirui Lily (Forest Dept gates this strictly — only cultivated stock can be sold), tribal community organising, and building D2C buyer base. Start with cultivated lily bulbs (less regulatory friction than wild) and the textile track in parallel.
