What is Mizoram Tribal Development Programme?
Mizoram Tribal Development Programme is the state's comprehensive livelihood and rural development scheme for Mizoram's recognized tribal communities — Mizo, Chakma, Lai, and Mara. The programme focuses on transitioning farmers from jhum (shifting cultivation) to settled cultivation, providing agricultural support, skill training, rural infrastructure, and livelihood development. Key interventions include support for terraced farming, horticulture transition, SHG formation, access to credit, and tribal community asset creation. The Tribal Welfare Department coordinates with Autonomous District Councils (Chakma ADC, Lai ADC, Mara ADC) for community-specific implementation.
