The delegation first met with the District Council Social Welfare Officer (DCSWO) and raised concerns regarding Old Age Pension and Disability Compensation/benefits, with the objective of helping genuine and eligible beneficiaries from the community access the benefits entitled to them.

The officer patiently heard the delegation’s concerns and provided guidance on the necessary procedures and requirements for availing the benefits. The delegation expressed that the guidance would help them assist genuine beneficiaries in approaching the concerned department through the proper channel.

During the meeting, the delegation also received ₹10,000 as financial assistance for NGOs from the Social Welfare Department. The delegation expressed its appreciation for the department’s support towards community initiatives.

The delegation then met with the Education Officer (EO) and discussed the first point of its memorandum concerning the proposed renaming of Bunkawn Primary School to Chhotakobakhali Primary School. The delegation recalled that the matter had already been discussed during an earlier meeting and once again requested the officer to consider the proposal and take the necessary action.

Thereafter, the delegation met with the Senior Financial & Accounts Officer (Sr. FAO) and discussed the request for assistance towards the construction of the MCSU Ugudasury South Zone Office. The officer assured the delegation of support through necessary construction materials, subject to the applicable procedures and availability.

Later, the delegation met with the Executive Member (EM), Education Department, CADC, and formally submitted its memorandum containing three major requests.

The delegation also discussed the request for assistance towards the construction of the MCSU Ugudasury South Zone Office, explaining the present requirements and seeking necessary support.

In addition, the delegation discussed the proposed second phase of the MCSU Charity Donation Programme and shared its plans for reaching more schools and students. Support from the Education Department, either in the form of financial assistance or educational materials, was also sought for the successful implementation of the programme.

The delegation further raised the matter of the new School Management Committee (SMC) guidelines and formation process, stressing the importance of properly constituting SMCs in accordance with the prescribed guidelines for the effective management and development of schools.

Concerns and dissatisfaction regarding the SMC committees previously formed for Ugudasury South were also brought to the attention of the authorities. The delegation requested that these concerns be considered and that future SMC formations follow the prescribed guidelines while ensuring appropriate representation of the schools and local community.

The MCSU Ugudasury South Zone delegation expressed its appreciation to all the officials for giving their valuable time, listening to the concerns and providing guidance on the necessary procedures.

𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐫, 𝟐𝟕 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: Col. Sagar K Mohanty, Commanding Officer, 2 Mizo Battalion NCC, Lunglei, accompanied by Lt. Col. Crossmawi L. Hmar and Smt. Uma Rana, Girls Cadet Instructor, held an interactive session on the National Cadet Corps (NCC) at the Art & Culture Hall, Kamalanagar, today. The Hon’ble Chief Executive Member (CEM), CADC, Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Heads of Departments and staff of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) attended the programme.

During the session, Col. Mohanty gave an overview on the history, objectives, scope, mission and various activities of the NCC through a PowerPoint presentation. He explained the role of the organisation in developing discipline, leadership, character, physical fitness, a spirit of adventure and a sense of service among young people.

He also shared the circumstances and efforts that led to the establishment of the 2 Mizo Battalion NCC at Lunglei and spoke about his experience in the process. He briefed the gathering on the progress made by the Battalion and some of its success stories since its establishment.

He referred to the first-ever National Cadet Corps (NCC) Fest and Parasailing Camp in Mizoram which took place in Lunglei from May 5 to May 11, 2026 during which Chakma cultural items were presented and widely appreciated. He further stated that a number of NCC cadets from the CADC area, including a girl cadet, had subsequently joined the military forces through the opportunities and exposure provided by NCC.

The Commanding Officer said that boys and girls in Mizoram have a natural aptitude for firing and suggested that a suitable site be identified at Kamalanagar for establishment of a firing range. Such a facility, he said, would enable NCC cadets from the area to undergo firing training here instead of having to travel to Lunglei. He also appealed to parents to support and encourage their children to join the NCC and make use of the opportunities available through the organisation.

Col. Mohanty further shared that he plans to write a book titled 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒊𝒛𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒎, in which Kamalanagar would receive a special mention.

The Hon’ble CEM appreciated Col. Mohanty and the accompanying officers for conducting the interactive session at Kamalanagar. While describing the session as truly inspiring, he said the NCC Commanding Officer’s message on the benefits of taking part in NCC would be taken to other parts of CADC.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma said he was particularly impressed by the objective of developing human resources through the NCC, particularly by instilling discipline, character, a spirit of adventure and a sense of service to the nation among young people, and the opportunities it provides to students for personal development and their future career.

The CEM also stressed the importance of encouraging female leadership and providing greater opportunities for girls. Referring to the recent NCC fraternity meet held at Kamalanagar, he said that he was pleased to see a large number of NCC cadets from CADC area participating in the programme. He suggested that opportunities should also be created for more students from Longpuighat and Borapansury to join the NCC.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma also referred to the reluctance of some parents in the CADC area to allow their children to join the NCC, an issue that had also been raised by Col. Mohanty during his presentation. He expressed hope that the interactive session would help address such concerns and encourage more parents to support their children in taking up NCC activities.

The CEM requested the NCC authorities to take initiatives to organise more NCC programmes at Kamalanagar and assured that the CADC administration would extend the required cooperation for such programmes.

𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐫, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: A review meeting on the formulation and ex*****on of a comprehensive development plan for the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) was held today in the CADC Art & Culture Hall at Kamalanagar under the chairmanship of Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Hon’ble Chief Executive Member (CEM), CADC. The meeting was attended by Dg. Kali Kumar Tongchangya, Hon’ble Chairman of CADC, Executive Members, the Advisor to CEM, the Vice Chairman of the Planning & Development Committee, Members of District Council (MDCs), and Heads of Departments (HoDs) of CADC.

Dg. Prabin Chakma, Planning and Development Officer, opened the session by outlining the primary objective of the meeting, which was to identify and review specific departmental intervention areas for the structural development of CADC. He explained the prescribed proforma designed to structure and give shape to these intervention roadmaps. Following his presentation, various Heads of Departments and departmental representatives presented their perspectives on potential intervention areas and actionable projects that each department could execute within their respective sectors.

Dg. Kali Kumar Tongchangya, Hon’ble Chairman, CADC, addressed the gathering following the departmental presentations, remarking that the real ownership of the development plan must rest squarely with the Heads of Departments and the employees as the elected political leadership will change every five years. Subsequently, Executive Members, the Advisor to the CEM, the Vice Chairman of the Planning Committee, and participating MDCs spoke, echoing the same sentiment and emphasizing collective administrative effort across all sectors to ensure effective service delivery.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Hon'ble Chief Executive Member, delivered the main address, detailing the rationale behind the development plan and citing recent consultations with the Hon’ble Governor and the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Mizoram regarding the development of CADC. He noted that 97% of the budget is currently allocated toward employee and school teacher salaries, leaving very little margin for carrying out development works, and emphasized that formulating this development plan serves as a direct initiative to benefit the public. He further highlighted various social security and welfare schemes of the Government of India, including the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), the Atal Pension Yojana (APY), Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) and etc., urging the Social Welfare Department of CADC to actively facilitate public enrollment so that eligible citizens can avail themselves of these benefits. He remarked that no eligible person should be left out of these schemes in CADC.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma urged officials to avoid complacency in the face of upcoming administrative challenges, outlined his long-term vision for CADC, and affirmed that the primary responsibility for executing these plans rests with the employees under the guidance of the Executive Committee and political leadership. He reiterated that he will periodically review the development plan being framed.

The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Dg. Pronit Bikash Chakma, Executive Secretary, CADC, who acknowledged the contributions and inputs of all present leadership and officials, after which the session was formally adjourned.
