In a significant move to enhance governance and administrative efficiency, the Mizoram IAS Association, Zoram Research Foundation, and All India Service representatives have urged the state government to advocate for a dedicated cadre of officers exclusively for the northeastern region. This proposal was presented to Chief Minister Lalduhoma, who assured the group that their concerns would be addressed and promised to bring the matter before the Cabinet for further deliberation.
Currently, Mizoram relies on officers from the Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, and Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre, a shared pool that also supplies IAS, IPS, and IFS officers to several other regions. However, advocates for a separate cadre argue that a dedicated northeastern cadre would enable more focused governance, as officers with deep, localized understanding of the region’s unique needs could serve with greater continuity and relevance.
Chief Minister Lalduhoma has committed to advocating for the initiative with the central government, signaling the state’s readiness to pursue enhanced administrative infrastructure that could benefit the northeastern region as a whole. This move is expected to bring significant improvements to governance and administrative efficiency in Mizoram and beyond.
