NCC Commanding Officer holds interactive session at Kamalanagar

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 Honโ€™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 Honโ€™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 Officerโ€™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.

CEM Calls on Village Councils to Know Their Powers and Functions

Kamalanagar, 26 August 2026: The Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) Village Council Association organised a programme today at Teachersโ€™ Inn, Kamalanagar, for the distribution of copies of the Chakma Customary Law and the CADC Village Council Act to Village Councils under the CADC. Representatives of 86 of the 88 village councils attended the programme. Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Honโ€™ble Chief Executive Member (CEM), CADC, attended as the Chief Guest.

In his address, the CEM appreciated the initiative taken by the Village Council Association and advised both newly elected and experienced Village Council members to read and familiarise themselves with the laws governing Village Councils and to understand their powers and functions. He suggested that members could also seek the assistance of teachers in local schools to better understand the provisions of the laws.

The CEM further informed that the CADC would organise a follow-up programme in coordination with the Village Council Association to facilitate clarification of doubts and address issues relating to the implementation of the relevant laws, with the assistance of concerned officials.

Referring to the amendments relating to Village Councils, Dg. Nirupam Chakma highlighted the extension of the tenure of Village Councils to five years, the inclusion of the Gram Sabha, and the entrustment of the conduct of Village Council elections to the State Election Commission, instead of the Local Administration Department, with the objective of ensuring free and fair elections.

He also referred to the provision for making the local Member of District Council (MDC) an ex-officio member of the Village Councils within the concerned constituency. The CEM stated that, after assuming office, he had directed the concerned department to issue instructions to Village Council Presidents (VCPs) to invite the concerned MDCs to Village Council meetings. He further said that if an MDC does not attend a meeting despite having been duly invited, the matter should be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

The CEM said that the proposed amendments to the Sixth Schedule, once passed, would provide greater powers to Village Councils. Referring to the Viksit Bharatโ€“G RAM G Act and the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JUGA), he said that 383 villages in Mizoram had been selected under the initiatives, including most of the villages under the CADC. He urged the Village Councils to prepare Village Development Plans, place their proposals before the Gram Sabha, and submit the duly approved plans to the CADC for further action.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma stressed the importance of training and awareness regarding the Chakma Customary Law and assured that the CADC would take necessary initiatives in this regard. He also advised Village Councils to maintain proper records and ensure that their Secretaries were adequately equipped to assist in the discharge of the judicial functions of the Village Councils.

The CEM expressed concern over reports of the alleged sale or transfer of CADC land passes to outsiders and urged Village Councils and the public to remain vigilant in such matters. He said that appropriate action would be taken against persons found involved in any illegal activities. Regarding the issuance of trade licences to outsiders, he said that such matters should be considered through the proper Village Council process and in the larger interest of the CADC.

Speaking about the ongoing financial crisis faced by the CADC, where a major portion of the budget allocation is consumed by employee salaries, the CEM sought the collective cooperation of all stakeholders to stabilise the financial situation. He stated that, since assuming office, his administration had maintained strict fiscal discipline by putting a halt to fresh appointments, promotions, pay upgradation, postings and transfers.

The CEM also informed the gathering that he planned to visit villages across the CADC to understand their needs, problems and developmental requirements first-hand. He further stated that he intended to visit Delhi to explore possibilities for development, particularly for villages located in border areas, and to learn more about the Vibrant Villages Programme.

First Sitting of CADC Emergency Session 2026 held; Honโ€™ble CEM calls for implementation of para 13 of Sixth Schedule

Kamalanagar, 20 August 2026: The first sitting of the Emergency Session of the 11th Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) was held today at the CADC Session Hall. The sitting was chaired by Dg. Kali Kumar Tongchangya, Chairman, CADC.

Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Honโ€™ble Chief Executive Member (CEM), CADC and House Leader, placed before the House a number of legislative and financial matters for consideration during the session.

Among the legislative matters placed before the House was the CADC (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) (Ninth Amendment) Rules, 2026, which seeks to amend Rule 11 of the CADC (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) Rules, 2002, as amended in 2003.

The amendment was proposed in compliance with the direction of the Honโ€™ble Supreme Court requiring the Chakma and Mara Autonomous District Councils in Mizoram to review their rules relating to dual membership.

The other legislative matters placed before the House were:

  1. The CADC (Salaries and Allowances of CEM and EMs) (Third Amendment) Rules, 2026.
  2. The CADC (Salaries and Allowances of Chairman and Deputy Chairman) (Third Amendment) Rules, 2026.
  3. The CADC (Salaries, Allowances and Pension of Members) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2026.

The House Leader also placed before the House the Reappropriation of Local Receipt Fund, 2025โ€“2026, and the Demand for Grants, 2026โ€“2027 (Budget Estimate).

While presenting the financial matters, the House Leader stated that Paragraph 13 of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India provides that:

โ€œEstimated receipts and expenditure pertaining to Autonomous District Council are to be shown separately in the annual financial statement. The estimated receipts and expenditure pertaining to an autonomous district which are to be credited to, or are to be made from, the Consolidated Fund of the States shall be first placed before the District Council for discussion and that after such discussion shall be shown separately in the annual financial statement of the State to be laid before the Legislature of the State under Article 202.โ€

He stated that the provision contained in Paragraph 13 of the Sixth Schedule had never been implemented in Mizoram and required immediate correction. He said that, from the time of its creation in 1972, CADC, the administration has been striving to carry out the constitutional mandate and fulfil the aspirations of its people.

He further stated that financial constraint remains the main stumbling block towards achieving the developmental requirements of the area. He referred to the need for improved road connectivity, educational facilities, employment opportunities for youth, healthcare, livelihood support and skill development, and said that CADC required greater financial assistance from the State Government as well as the Central Government for realizing the Chakma Autonomous District Development Plan.

With regards to Local Receipt collections, the Hon,ble CEM informed the House that against the budgetary target of Rs. 145.00 lakh for the year 2025โ€“2026, the actual collection stood at Rs. 192.48 lakh, registering an increase of more than 32 per cent over the target. He remarked that this achievement under trying circumstances reflected on the high sense of accountability and purpose of the employees.

He also placed before the House the financial position relating to salary expenditure under Normal Grant-in-Aid. The budgetary requirement for salary in the current year has been estimated at Rs. 17,515.38 lakhs, and including the Rs.6,377.79 lakhs deficit carried over from the previous year, the total requirement for salary stands at Rs. 23,893.17 lakhs. Against this requirement only Rs. 16,939.80 lakhs has been sanctioned as Grant-in-Aid from the State Government. This has resulted in a deficit of Rs. 7,608.37 lakhs for the year 2026-27 with Rs. 1,230.58 lakhs being the deficit for the current year and Rs.6,377.79 lakhs being the deficit carried over from the previous year. He further informed the House that to address this deficit, the matter was being pursued with all earnestness before the State Government.

The proposed expenditure from Local Revenue includes works and programmes relating to roads and bridges, school infrastructure, literacy programmes, sports promotion, agriculture and horticulture, village-level infrastructure, social welfare assistance, and maintenance of CADC offices and public facilities.

In his concluding remarks, the Honโ€™ble CEM stated that the budget has been placed under the difficult circumstances of a salary deficit of Rs. 7,608.37 lakh, a year of Governorโ€™s Rule, and an administration that was still finding its footing. โ€œI have not sought to conceal these difficulties. I have placed them before the House with full transparency, because I believe the people of CADC, and this August House, deserve nothing less than the truth,โ€ he said.

The legislative matters placed before the House will be taken up for discussion and voting during the next sitting on 21 August 2026. The House will also discuss and vote on the Reappropriation of Local Receipt Fund, 2025โ€“2026, on Monday, 24 August 2026.

With no other business to be transacted for the day, the sitting was adjourned. The House will resume tomorrow to discuss the matters placed before it and reconvene on 24 August 2026 to take up the matters scheduled for that sitting.
