Kali Kumar Tongchangya, Honโble 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.

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, Honโble 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 Honโble Governor and the Honโble 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.

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, Honโble 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 Honโble 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:
- The CADC (Salaries and Allowances of CEM and EMs) (Third Amendment) Rules, 2026.
- The CADC (Salaries and Allowances of Chairman and Deputy Chairman) (Third Amendment) Rules, 2026.
- 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, 2025โ2026, and the Demand for Grants, 2026โ2027 (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:
โEstimated 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 2025โ2026, 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 Honโble 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 Governorโs Rule, and an administration that was still finding its footing. โI 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, 2025โ2026, 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.
