Poverty remains an important area of research in South Asia. In India, even after almost seventy-five years of independence the dimension wise distribution of poverty is very much shocking. Especially for the case of Northeast Indian States, poverty and inequality vary a lot. This indicates exclusion of this region from rest of the India. The cultural aspect and the isolated features in Northeast India are quite responsible. Measuring poverty in multi-dimension wise is to give the overall or macro view of the situation, but the use of fuzzy logic enhances the capacity of usual multidimensional measurement for micro view. Present study analyses the poverty and inequality among the districts of Nagaland in different aspects of life. The purpose of the study is to give a microscopic view of poverty in Nagaland. Across the dimensions, the unequal distribution of deprivations causes many anomalies in the State. The empirical findings critically analyse the different contributing factors.
