It was established by an act of the State Assembly in 2000 with the primary vision of providing science education. Since then, the defined goal of the college is to ensure quality education for empowering the native people - who are educationally backward in science education - by enhancing the status of science and technology. Since then, the college is now proudly marching towards its second decade of existence.

The College is affiliated to Mizoram University and offers 10 UG course, besides 1 certificate course as a value-added course.

The college is currently located in the heart of Aizawl, the capital city on temporary buildings with inadequate space for Classrooms, Computer laboratories, Auditorium, Science laboratories and Library. After much cajoling and frequent submission of pleas, the State Government has allocated land for its permanent campus where construction works have commenced for hostel facilities in the new campus.

The College was accredited with Grade B by NAAC in 2009. Re-collecting and reflecting on our quality status during these past years, and endeavouring to live true to the motto, ‘Lighted to Lighten’ the College has now volunteered for a second accreditation cycle. In spite of the seemingly difficult situations and working conditions, we choose to persevere. All efforts within our capacity are taken into perspective to involve the stakeholders – students, faculty members, alumni, parents, and the Government to ensure quality sustenance and enhancement.

ZORO


Formation

The Mizo Accord signed in 1986 was both historic and euphoric for the Zomi because it gave birth to the only democratic Zo state in the world. However, the same Accord also told of the incompleteness of the Zomi Re-unification process. The Zomi outside the erstwhile Lushai Hills (now Mizoram) felt left out as their ultimate political goal of “unification and integrity” had been sacrificed at the altar of a limited state for a limited Zomi of a limited area.

In order to fill the vacuum created by the Accord, the Zomi National Congress of Manipur under the leadership of Pu T Gougin, and the People’s Convention of Mizoram under Brig T Sailo, jointly organised the First World Zomi Convention. This most emotional of Zomi gathering so far, was held at Champhai from May 19-21, 1988 and was attended by representatives from all Zomi inhabited areas of the world. The delegates resolved to form a loose political forum called the “Zomi Re-Unification Organisation” (the name ‘Zomi’ was subsequently replaced with ‘Zo’ omitting ‘mi’, in 1991, thus ZORO). The organisation rekindled hopes to the Zomi Nationalists who had been crying to integrate with their brethren living on the other side of the existing international boundaries. However, the organisation gradually lost its mass appeal once the constituent party, ZNC and PC, fought State Elections in Manipur and Mizoram respectively. This was against the Charter of Agreement, 1988 and led to another vacuum in the process of Zomi Re-unification.

Meanwhile, the Zomi in Burma suffered innumerable hardships in the hands of the Military Junta. The Zomi outside Mizoram state also suffered hardships of varying degree and in different forms. Their culture, language and religion were in danger of being assimilated into the dominant society, and their very existence as a distinct nation was under grave danger of extinction. Awareness of the danger of their position and the inevitability of their eventual demise—unless they are united—has greatly increased. Compelled by the dangers, the Zomi leaders of India and Burma organised a series of wide ranging consultative meetings, eventually leading to the formation of an all encompassing forum for re-unification. Thus, the Zomi Re-unification Organisation (ZRO) was formed in April 1993 at Phapian (Kachin State), Burma with the blessing of Zomi Church leaders, tribe leaders, and Zomi nationalists, both from India and Burma to carry forward the integration movement until an honourable and respectable solution is reached. Pu K Guite, a Zomi leader from Karbi Anglong (Mikir Hills of Assam), is the founder President of the organisation.

It may be noted here that the resurgent ZORO under the leadership of Pu R Thangmawia and Pu ST Parte strived to internationalise the Zomi cause, knocking at the doors of United Nations and its agencies for re-unification of Zo people. The ZORO and ZRO have, except in approaches and strategy, no difference in its basic objectives of unification and integration. The ‘Zo People’ of ZORO is synonymous with ZOMI (Zo + Mi = Zo + People) of ZRO in its meaning and content. The unification objectives of both the organisations will not be achieved if the international bodies do not understand and accept the fact that the Zo people are a distinct people. It will also be a distant dream if the Zomi do not organise themselves into a respectable forum to champion their just and right and humane cause. The nitty-gritty of unification needs to be worked out at all levels — local, national and international levels.

Today the mission for re-unification is echoing from every nook and corner of Zomi inhabited areas (Zogam/Zoram/Zoland), as a modern singer strikes a sentimental chord:
“In suih khawm leh zai i rel ang û!”(Free translation: ‘Lets strive for reunification in unison!”)                                                                – Ms Daduhi
The ZRO’s appeal to all Zo descendants to ‘join hands and heads for re-unification of the already divided Zomi,’ received an overwhelming response from Zomi tribes and sub-tribes. Renewed effort to forget and forsake the spirit of narrow communalism and clanism, our most dreadful disease that obstructs the way to unification has begun in real earnest.

On September 2, 1995 the President and Secretary of Paite National Council (now Paite Tribe Council), Simte Tribe Council, Tedim-Chin Union, and Vaiphei National Organisation signed a ‘Charter of Agreement’ and agreed to struggle for re-unification of the Zomi under the banner of ZRO. In keeping with the age-old practice of the Zomi, the customary dish of “Oath of Loyalty”—

Sathin (Sasin) Salung (Heart-liver) – was partaken of by the leaders. In 2003, the apex organisation of Zou-te tribes, United Zoumi Organisation and the Mate Tribes Council also pledged their support for unification movement. The other cognate tribes who still use imposed names but accept that they are Zo descendants, also extend their support, and resulted in the formation of a loose forum called Indigenous People’s Revolutionary Alliance (IPRA) on May 9, 2000.

MHIP Logo
The Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) was established on the 6th of July 1974 and was registered under Registration No. 5 of 1977, Society Act 1860 (Act XXI of 1960) It's Headquarter is located at Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram. The complete address is Treasury Square, Aizawl. Tel 323 464. 


     The MHIP is one of the biggest voluntary organization in Mizoram. Any organization that is solely engaged in Social Welfare works may be affiliated to the MHIP. The area of work covers the entire corner of the State. The organization is sub divided into seven (7) sub-Headquarters. These sub-headquarter are further divided into 16 blocks and 700
Branches. These sub-headquarter are named after every District headquarters of Mizoram which are -
  • Lunglei Sub-Headquarter
  • Saiha Sub-Headquarter
  • Lawngtlai Sub-Headquarter
  • Serchhip Sub-Headquarter
  • Champhai Sub-Headquarter
  • Kolasib Sub-Headquarter
  • Mamit Sub-Headquarter
     Membership is accepted of any women from the age 14 years onwards. A person can become a member of the MHIP on payment of Rs 2/- to its branch in a village. It is therefore a strong social forces devoted solely for the welfare and upliftment  of the weaker section of the society, particularly Women and Child section.


THE MAIN AIMS, OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION: The basic principles of the MHIP is based on philanthropic social work with no expectation of any return benefit. It aims at creating a state of welfare in which every individual is cared for irrespective of Caste or Creed. However, since it being a women organization, most activities emphasis on upliftment of WOMEN and CHILDREN. Some of these activities may be highlighted below:

FIGHTING AGAINST ATROCITIES WOMEN: The MHIP is a mother of all women, the destitute and down trodden women, fighting for their rights in all aspects of life. During the last five years in Mizoram there are several rape and murder cases involving minor girls and adult women. In protest against such inhuman behavior, the MHIP General Hqrs organised a gigantic processions several times in the major towns in Aizawl, Lunglei, Kolasib, Champhai and Saiha. As a result of these strong protest, the State Government took up the appropriate strong action against the accused who were then convicted.

CHAMPION OF THE DESTITUTE: The Mizo Society is by Custom a patriarchal Society. Women and children in this society were generally considered inferior to man. However, in the wake of modernization such consideration has become controversial. But still there are the die hard who refused any change in customs and traditions. A Mizo man may divorce his wife as he fancy and drive her out empty handed without any means of supporting herself. Women are often left socially and economically neglected, such destitute women are compelled to earn their living by any means, helpless to care for neither ethic or morality with obvious consequences. Under such circumstances, the MHIP take up the issued strongly as discriminatory and unjust for the destitute women in general. The MHIP would champion the issue to any high authority in the state.

MHIP AS A FAMILY COUNSELLING: The MHIP involved themselves wherever there is a social injustice in the day to day family life of the Community within their respective branches/jurisdiction. The MHIP seek justice for women who are beaten by their drunken husband, a child who is neglected in nutrition or in other family and social life. An unmarried mother would be given the proper guidance and Counseling, sometimes even provided monetary or material support to the destitute women and children. In some extraordinary cases where some families needed medical treatment outside Mizoram, but too poor to proceed are given a helping hand by the MHIP in such difficult times of the family.

DECLARATION O WOMEN'S YEAR REVIEW OF MIZO CUSTOMARY LAW: The MHIP Gen. Hqrs. Declared "WOMEN'S YEAR" IN Mizoram 1997-2001 during these period the Central theme of all activities focused on creation of awareness in, " THE LOW STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE SOCIETY". Most of their activities concerned in programs to elevate the low status of women. In this regard, the MHIP had been touring the length and breath of the state covering even the most remote and interior villages. Workshops, seminars and groups discussion are conducted. The major issue was " TO REVIEW THE MIZO CUSTOMARY LAW", which provide very little right and protection to the Mizo Women.
These movement has enlightened many of the younger generation of today, and day by day it is gaining popularity and momentum. The MHIP is now earnestly pursuing the matter with the state Government to action in the matter and is now serious consideration.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING AND SOCIAL INTERACTION :With a view to achieve a welfare state, a block level leadership training help periodically. The theme of such training is " WOMEN IN MIZO SOCIETY". These training The declaration of Women's Year and its consequences have made the general populate aware of the importance of uplifting the status of the Mizo Women.
