𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐫, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟑𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: Executive Member, i/c Education, Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), Dg. Doymoy Daveng Chakma has called upon the teaching community to take pride in their profession and recognise their role as major contributors to the development of society, while stressing the need for reforms to strengthen the education system in CADC.

Addressing the inaugural session of a two-day Teachers’ Seminar on Educational Reforms in CADC at the Art & Culture Hall, Kamalanagar, Dg. Doymoy Daveng Chakma, who was the Chief Guest, said that every teacher has the potential to become a quality teacher and make a meaningful contribution to society. He emphasised that teachers should measure their success not merely by their professional position, but also by the positive impact their students make in society.

“If a student becomes a doctor, scientist, politician or community leader because of your contribution, then you’ll feel successful,” he remarked.
The Executive Member expressed concern over the need to restore the dignity of the teaching profession in CADC and urged teachers to take greater pride in their profession while recognising themselves as important contributors to society.

He said that the seminar was a step in the right direction towards bringing about reforms in the education sector. At the same time, he stressed that the government had a responsibility to ensure the welfare of the teaching community and create a conducive environment for effective teaching and learning.

He also announced that he intended to propose the “CADC Transfers & Posting of Elementary Teachers’ Rules” before the Executive Committee to regulate the posting and transfer of teachers and ensure a fair and systematic approach. He observed that the preference for postings in town areas had resulted in an excess of teachers in some town schools while leaving shortages in other areas, underscoring the need for a balanced approach to teacher postings.
Dg. Doymoy Daveng Chakma further informed that two education infrastructure projects had been submitted and were under process for inclusion in the State’s priority list. If implemented, he said, the projects would enable the construction of 20–25 new school buildings in CADC.

Urging teachers to take greater responsibility for the educational development of their community, he called upon them to teach with a sense of purpose and commitment. He said that the children being educated today have the potential to make positive contributions to the community in the future.

Other speakers, including Dangu. Molin Kumar Chakma, Adviser to CEM and Guest of Honour, also urged the teaching community to discharge their duties with dedication and commitment.

The two-day seminar, organised by the Middle School Education Department, CADC, is themed “Strengthening Teaching Competencies, Educational Leadership and Students’ Learning Achievement” and covers areas including student attendance, retention and dropout prevention; salient features of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020; the role of teachers; enhancement of teaching quality; digital and ICT-enabled education; mentorship; and values and personality development.

The seminar will continue tomorrow with sessions covering various aspects of academic leadership, classroom teaching, professional development, academic monitoring and community engagement.
A total of 390 teachers from different schools across CADC participated in the inaugural session. Senior officials of CADC and invited guests were also present.

Kamalanagar, August 6, 2026: A delegation of the Kamalanagar Private Schools Association (KPSA), led by its President, Dg. Nirvan Chakma, called on the Executive Member of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) in-charge of Primary & Middle School, Adult Education and District School Education Board (DSEB), Dg. Doymoy Daveng Chakma, on Thursday and submitted a memorandum concerning certain issues relating to private schools affiliated with the DSEB.

The memorandum sought intervention regarding the implementation of Notification No. 29/STBC/Vol-1/DSEB/2026-2027/541/150 dated 5th May, 2026, which introduced uniform common question papers for Classes III, V, VI and VIII from the current academic session. The Association stated that the notification was issued after the commencement of the academic session and requested that private schools be exempted from its implementation for the current session.

The Association also stated that its member schools have been using privately published textbooks aligned with the NCERT syllabus for several years. It requested written permission to continue using the existing textbooks during the current academic session and sought permanent recognition of such textbooks, subject to the approval of the competent authority.

The memorandum further raised issues relating to the participation of private school teachers in DSEB examination invigilation duties and requested restoration of the earlier practice under which teachers from both government and private schools were engaged as invigilators. It also sought representation of private schools in the core committee and subordinate committees of the DSEB.

The Executive Member, Dg. Doymoy Daveng Chakma, received the memorandum and assured the delegation that the matters raised would be examined in accordance with the relevant rules and procedures.

The Chief Executive Member, Dg. Nirupam Chakma, stated that the Council Government attaches importance to the development of education and is committed to maintaining constructive engagement with all stakeholders. He said that the concerns would receive due consideration in the interest of students and the education system.

Kamalanagar, 11 December 2025: A one-day Teachers’ Seminar on Educational Reforms in the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), conducted under the theme “Building a Strong Academic Foundation”, was held on 10 December 2025 at the Art & Culture Hall, Kamalanagar. The programme was organised by the Middle School Education Department, CADC, and witnessed participation from a large number of teachers from across the CADC.

The inaugural session was attended by Shri Rasik Mohan Chakma, Hon’ble MLA, 36-Tuichawng (ST) Assembly Constituency, as Chief Guest. The programme was also attended by Shri Roimanekyo Chakma, Secretary, DSEB CADC; Shri Durjoy Chakma, Retired Education Officer, CADC; Shri Buddhankur Chakma, Senior Finance & Accounts Officer, CADC; and Shri Sadanand Chakma, District Transport Officer, CADC, as Guests of Honour and Special Guest.

In his address, the Chief Guest highlighted the major issues affecting the education sector in CADC and stressed the need for collective effort to achieve practical reforms. He urged the teaching community to remain dedicated and proactive in addressing challenges and noted that sincere effort, even with limited resources, can contribute significantly to improving educational outcomes.

The dignitaries present also shared observations on existing challenges and offered suggestions for strengthening administrative functioning, improving teaching-learning processes, and ensuring accountability at various levels.

A detailed PowerPoint presentation was delivered by Shri Milon Chakma, Assistant Education Officer, Middle School Education Department. The presentation provided an overview of the current educational scenario, highlighting infrastructural gaps, academic challenges, and administrative constraints. This was followed by an interactive session in which teachers shared their views, experiences, and recommendations. The organisers stated that similar initiatives would continue as part of efforts to support long-term improvements in the education sector.

Kamalanagar, April 24, 2025: The Chakma Autonomous District Council has urged the Govt. of Mizoram to introduce Science and Commerce streams at the Govt. Kamalanagar Higher Secondary School. The appeal was made during the two-day official visit of Dr. Vanlalthlana, Hon’ble Minister for School Education, to Kamalanagar on April 23 and 24, 2025.

In a memorandum submitted to the Hon’ble Minister, the CADC highlighted the absence of Science and Commerce streams at the school—the only government higher secondary institution in the entire CADC area. Currently, the school offers only the Humanities stream, thereby limiting academic choices and career prospects for the local students. The Council requested the Minister to take necessary steps for the inclusion of additional streams to ensure equitable access to higher secondary education for students in CADC and adjoining areas under LADC.

The memorandum also expressed concern over the acute shortage of teachers in schools across the CADC. It noted that many teachers who were initially appointed under the Samagra Shiksha scheme for Kamalanagar Block have been either posted or attached to offices outside the CADC. These appointees, being non-residents, were directly recruited from the head office and have shown reluctance to serve in the remote areas of CADC. As a result, some interior schools are reportedly being run by a single teacher.

Reiterating an earlier proposal, the CADC further appealed for the introduction of Mizo language as a subject in all schools within its jurisdiction. Acknowledging Mizo as the official language of the State, the memorandum stated that incorporating the language in the curriculum would help bridge communication gaps, foster cultural understanding, and promote inter-community harmony. It proposed the recruitment of 150 Mizo language teachers on a fixed pay basis of ₹15,000 per month, seeking a total monthly allocation of ₹22.50 lakh in addition to the annual budget of the CADC.

Dr. Vanlalthlana was received warmly by Dg. Montu Chakma, Executive Member and i/c CEM, CADC; Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma, MLA, 36-Tuichawng; along with other Executive Members, MDCs, and officials of the CADC. The Hon’ble Minister was accompanied by Pu Malsawmtluanga, Joint Secretary, School Education Department; Pu C. Lalthanzira, State Project Director, Samagra Shiksha; and Prof. Benjamin Lalrinsanga, State Nodal Officer (NEP), Higher & Technical Education.

As part of the visit, the Hon’ble Minister and his team toured several educational institutions in Kamalanagar and held interactions with local stakeholders.
