LUNGLEI CONFIRMED AS HEADQUARTERS OF MIZORAM STATE UNIVERSITY AFTER ASSEMBLY APPROVAL

Lamtluang Online News,, 25 February 2026: The Mizoram Legislative Assembly has passed the Mizoram State University (Amendment) Bill, 2026, formally confirming that the headquarters of Mizoram State University will be located in Lunglei.

The Bill was introduced in the House by Dr Vanlalthlana, Minister for Higher and Technical Education. Following detailed deliberations, the House approved the amendment.

While presenting the Bill, the Minister recalled that the original Mizoram State University Bill, 2025 had been passed by the Mizoram Legislative Assembly on 4 March 2025. Subsequent steps were initiated to operationalise the university, including the creation of posts and the issuance of advertisements to recruit essential staff. Preparations were also underway to renovate the Geology and Mining Department office at Luangmual in Aizawl to serve as the proposed headquarters.

However, representations were received from various quarters, including Lunglei, Champhai and Mamit, both before and after the passage of the original Act. Following discussions with non governmental organisations and local MLAs, the Council of Ministers reviewed the matter on 17 November 2025. After careful consideration, it resolved that the headquarters should be located in Lunglei in order to address regional imbalance and promote equitable development.

The Chief Minister subsequently announced on 20 November 2025 that the headquarters of Mizoram State University would be established in Lunglei.

Given the need for further scrutiny of certain provisions, a new drafting committee was constituted to review the existing Act. After obtaining approval from the Council of Ministers, the amended Bill was placed before the House during the current session.

The Minister stated that the primary objective behind the amendment was to correct regional imbalance. He further informed the House that three sections of the Act have been amended under the new Bill.

More than 20 members participated in the discussion and expressed their views before the Bill was passed.
