The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

  • Recent Discovery of the Proterozoic Metasediments in the Shwepahto
    Dagon University Research Journal 2020, Vol. 11 247 Recent Discovery of the Proterozoic Metasediments in the Shwepahto Area, Pindaya Township, Southern Shan State, Myanmar Mi Paik1, Kyi Kyi Maw2, Aye Ko Aung3, Yu War Chaw4, Aung Zaw Set5 1 [email protected] Abstract The Shwepahto area is located at the southeastern part of the Pindaya range, Pindaya Township, Southern Shan State. The present study mainly deals with the lithology and petrography of the Chaung Magyi Group and also discusses on their paleotectonic environment. This is first to report the occurrence of the Chaung Magyi metasediments in eastern part of the Pindaya range. It is well exposed along the road between Panzit and Kyangyinbyaung villages. On the lithology basis, it can be correlated with the Chaung Magyi Group of the other areas such as northeastern part of Mandalay- north of Sedawgyi, Yeywa, the area between Myogyi-Sakangyi, on the Hanmyinmo-Ywangan road, Yechanpyin, and western part of Hsinmango hill in Ywangan Township. In the present area, the Chaung Magyi Group consists of slate (pyritiferous), sandy phyllite, talc-chlorite phyllite, metadolomite and slightly metamorphosed greywacke. Under the microscope, the two units, slate and sandy phyllite show fairly deformed characters. The Chaung Magyi rocks, being very old, must have undergone more than one major episode of deformation. These rocks have been subjected to mainly low grade metamorphism (greenschist facies) as indicated by the development of mostly slates and phyllites. The rocks in the area are running nearly N-S in direction and giving southwest dipping. The quartzofeldspathic veins occur frequently. The unit co-occurs with the volcanic ash, which is presumably the same age of the Chaung Magyi Group.

For inquiries please contact Melissa Crouch [email protected] Introduction- Territorial Divisions: The Seven States and Regions - National Race Affairs Representatives - Self-Administered Zones and Divisions - Conclusion One way in which state policies may accommodate the unique claims of cultural groups is by legally conferring certain recognition or status on such groups through the Constitution. The accommodation of the rights of minorities and managing diversity is often crucial to democratisation and political stability.2 The Myanmar3 government recognises that it needs to resolve ethnic conflict and grievances as part of the process of transition to a quasi-civilian democracy under the 2008 Constitution.
