It was envisaged that this study would provide bench':mark data on the living conditions of the people hihabitins different geographical areas of the country under diverse socio­ economic conditions. After independence. the country pursued the path of planned development for improving the quality of life of her citizens and this transformation was sought to be achieved through the implementation of Five Year Plans. Economic emancipation, the main thrust of Five Year Plans was to be realised by increasing agricultural and industrial qqtp.lJtl'", ~s~ wqll as. by generating more employment opportunities. While enhan~d irr~ga­ t1'On Wltffes and Improved methods of farmmg were lntroduced to boost up. agHcultural producUOJl, . goneration of employment opportunities and increase in iadustrial output w~e to be iJ"ealised largely through industrialisation. Besides, a number of other social welfare programmes were implemented to provide additional facilities in the area of edu­ cation. health, transport and communication. drinking water and power supply. Of late. family welfare programme was also introduced to check population explosion which bad all along been nullifying the results of planned development. lJy the time of 1911 Census. it was envisaged that the socio-economic life of the people especially of villages would show perceptible changes under the imp-act of Five Year Plans. It was, therefore, decided to undertake a re-study of some of the VIllages which had been surveyed in connection with the 1961 Census to understand the manner and direction in which the Indian villages are changing under the influence of different developmental inputs. Tl?-e main f~us of. this study, apart from p'robing 4eep into the p3;tterns of change taking place tn the hfe cyete events and economic purSUitS, Was to question pene­ tratingly into matters relating to availability of amenities and sel"Vices in the villages co· vered under these studies. attitude and opinion of the villagers in regard' to education, he~th care activities and attitude, awareness and acceptance of family planning methods. In short, the study was aimed at to bring to relief the socio-economic processes taking place in the rural environment under the influence of planned development as well as industrialisa­ tion and urbanisation. The villages selected for the study were those which are situated either near to aft urban centre or away from any urban centre or those which are located in an already identified dry belt area or in areaS covered by Integrated Rural Development Programme and served by minor irrigation projects and rural electrification programme. Some of these c.t:iteria for th~ selection of villages for the study were adopted at the instance of the Plan­ nmg CommissIon. Although 78 villages were initially identified for tbe re-study, due to certain constraints this project could not make much headway. Therofore. it was decided to continue tbese .tudies as an adjunct to thb 1981 Census. , (iii) The research design, tools for data collection and formats for tabulation of data required for the conduct of the socio-economic survey of villages taken up in connection with the 1961 Census were framed by Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, who was then heading the Social Studies Division. as Deputy Registrar General. His successor Dr. N. G. Nag, assisted by Dr. K. P. Ittaman. the present Deputy Registrar General, extended technical guidance to the Directorates ·of Census Operations for undertaking the re-study of the villages. I take this opportunity to congratulate aU of them for organising these studies. The work relating to the scrutiny of the draft reports received from the Directorates of Census Operations and communication of comments thereon was undertaken by Shri M. K. Jain. Senior Research Officer. Social Studies' Division under the guidance of Dr. K. P. Ittaman. Shti Jain was assisted in this task by Smt. Suman Prashar. A.D.C.O. and Investigator. Shri S. C. Madan. I am thankful to aU of them. The present report is based on a re-study conducted on the village LAWNGTLAI by the Director of Census Operati(lns, MIZORAM. I take this opportunity to thank all my colleagues in the Directorate for the efforts taken by them for bringing out this p~blication. NEW DELHI; V. S. VERMA Dated the 1st of June, 1988 Registrar General, India. PREFACE Socio-economic Surveys of various villages selected all over the country were taken up as an ancillary to 1961 Census. These surveys were conducted by the Directorates of Censu~ Operatio?s with t~e technical advice of the Social Studies division of the Office of the Registrar General, IndIa. In Mlzoram whIch was part of Assam State during 1961 Census, two villages viz. Durtlang and Lawngtlai were selected for socio:economi.c survey. The restudy: of these villages has been taken up as part of 1981 Census. In the matter of selectIon of Villages for re-study, the following criteria was adopted: (i) one village near effective urban centre with a population of 50,000 and above (proximity to industrial towns and cities preferred). (ii) one village away from an effective urban centre which may, however, be~near a small town (within a distance of 5 to 10 lans.). (iii) one village at a distance of not less than 24 kms. from any urban centre. Lawngtlai village in Lawngtlai Community Development Block in Chhimtuipui district was selected under this category. Lawngtlai is situated in Chhimtuipui district. Village Schedules and Household Schedules were canvassed during the study covering 100 households. The restudy of Lawngtlai village was conducted by the Directorate of Census Operations, Mizoram. The field investigation was conducted by Shri Lalbuanga Sailo, Statistical Assistant and Shri Saithuama Sailo, Shri Lalrosanga, Shri Saithanthuama and Smt. K.

  • The Problems of English Teaching and Learning in Mizoram
    ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 15:5 May 2015 ================================================================= The Problems of English Teaching and Learning in Mizoram Lalsangpuii, M.A. (English), B.Ed. ================================================================= Abstract This paper discusses the problems of English Language Teaching and Learning in Mizoram, a state in India’s North-Eastern region. Since the State is evolving to be a monolingual state, more and more people tend to use only the local language, although skill in English language use is very highly valued by the people. Problems faced by both the teachers and the students are listed. Deficiencies in the syllabus as well as the textbooks are also pointed out. Some methods to improve the skills of both the teachers and students are suggested. Key words: English language teaching and learning, Mizoram schools, problems faced by students and teachers. 1. Introduction In order to understand the conditions and problems of teaching-learning English in Mizoram, it is important to delve into the background of Mizoram - its geographical location, the origin of the people (Mizo), the languages of the people, and the various cultures and customs practised by the people. How and when English Language Teaching (ELT) was started in Mizoram or how English is perceived, studied, seen and appreciated in Mizoram is an interesting question. Its remoteness and location also create problems for the learners. 2. Geographical Location Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:5 May 2015 Lalsangpuii, M.A. (English), B.Ed.
