      <Abstract>Concept of home garden is very common in the hilly area of north eastern part of India and play a crucial role in livelihood, economy and biological diversity conservation. The present study aims to study of the home garden in three different altitudinal ranges in Mon district of Nagaland with the prime objective about the socioeconomic status of existing home garden, distribution and the variety of products and their local uses. The household was selected as a sampling unit of study. Data was gathered through a structured interview covering 60 households, 20 from each village. The home gardens across the altitudes were studied in detail in order to ascertain the roles played by these gardens in the socio-economic context. The survey comprises of 47 plant species from 29 different families. Cucumis sativa (28%) was recorded to contribute the highest to the total annual income in the high altitude followed by Capsicum chinensis (25%) whereas; Abelmoschus esculentus (5%) contributed the least. Parkia timoriana (33%) was recorded to contribute the highest to the total annual income in the high altitude followed by Sechium edule (21%) whereas; Rhus semialata (2%) contributed the least. Camellia sinensis (40%) was recorded to contribute the highest to the total annual income in the high altitude followed by Areca catechu (31%) whereas, Zingiber officinale (5%) contributed the least. The economic analysis of home gardens across varying altitudes shows that home gardens in low altitudes were valued more than the ones in the mid hills and highlands. The total yield in larger gardens was higher than in medium and small gardens, but the yield per unit area was higher in small gardens and dropped as garden size increased. In many cases, the family__ampersandsign#39;s financial situation was improved by the home gardens, which provided additional revenue while also contributing to social and cultural improvement.</Abstract>
