The then chiels of Mizoram were recognised as the rulers of their respective villages. ^'h(! tlien North Lushai Hills was attached to Assam while the South- . , , - ejn. pf)rtion-oC Lushai Hills was ielt in the Bengal province.-In 1964 by an act of parliament, the name of the district was changed from Lushai hills to Mizo I district. Tlie name Mizo literally meant those people who originally live on the hilly regions. With the implementation of the North-Eastern Re-organisation Act (1971) Mizo District ceased to be a part ot Assam and became Union Territory on the 21st January 1972 with a new name Mizoram. As per 53rd amendment bill and the state of Mizoram bill 1986 passed by the parliament on 7t.h August I98b, Mizoram was given statehood on the 20th Febn.iary 1987 to become the 23rd state of Indian Un­ ion. Frotn the statehood of Mizoram the number of member of Legis­ lative Assembly was increased from 30 to 40. Lieutenant Governor was no longer administrator and instead Governor became the head of Government. Since Mizoram became union territory, the province was divided into three administrative districts viz. Aizawl District (Hqi s. Aizawl), Lunglei District (Htirs. Lunglei) and Chhimtuipui Distru t (Hqrs. Sailia). Aizawl is the state capital till date Aizawl District is now divided into 5 (five) administrative districts viz. Aizawl District, Mamit District, Kolasib District, Champhai District and Serchhip District. The name of each district carry the name of -€JJ its capital. Mence eight administrative district then came to exist in Mizoi am and Serchhip district being tlie youngest districts in Mizortini. Serchtiip District covers 3b villages and 2 habitations. The district is bounded on the north by Aizawl District, on the east by Chaniphai District and Myanmai’, and on the south by lAinglei District. Serchhip District is situated in the Central part of Mizoram and an imaginary line of tropic of cancer passes through it Irom west to east . Like it National Highway - 54 passes through Serclihip district from North to South. Serchhip District covers East i^ungdar Rural Development Oiock, Serchhip Rural Development Block and part of Thingsulthliah Rural Development Block which is under Aizawl District. Serchhip District has recently been divided into three Civil Sub Divi­ sions as follows ; • N. Vanlaiphai Civil Sub Division • Thenzawl Civil Sub Division • Serchhip Sadar Sub Division The creation of three new Civil Sub Division does not conform with the three Assembly constituencies which are Serchhip A/C, N. Vanlaiphai AC and Lungpho Assembly constituency. Serchhip District being located in the central part of Mizoram is a turning place in the History of Mizoram as the first peace arrange­ ment was made here between Mizos and the then British Indian with compromise of both sides. The peace agreement was made following the demand to release the captive English girl Mary Winchester who was enslaved in the house of the then Mizo Chief Bengkhuaia who at that time dwelt on the top hill of Serclihip town Plie first expedition Lo Cachar District (Assam) was launched by this chief in 1871. By this expedition Mr. Winchester was killed and his daughter Mary ------------------ -------- --------1 - V — ----- -------------- — ----------- - WiricKiester was taken alive on 23. L 1871 and brought home for lile to this place, the impact of this inculent was the launcli of first expe clition to Mizoratii. Moreover the highest wat(^rfall in Mizoram named Vantawngkhawhtlila Ks found inside Serchhip District whicii is (luite attractive. The name is also a peculiar one that Van means sky and I'awng-means rt;acli Thiis tlie literal meaning may be the length of tlie fall that reaches the sky.

Except very few areas of River Valley Serchhip District is formed of hilly high lands with stiff mountains with cliff. The recorded renoun high niovmtains viz. Tawi mountain, Hrangturzo mtmntain and Tliinglian rnountin are found in Serchhip District. The Tawi mountain being the biggest mountain m Mizoram is in a peculiai position that no hunter can be familiar as each and every hunter used to lose way in every occasion of hunting till now. The people of Mizos meant it as a fairy land owing to a large number of big caves being found here. The climate condition is mostly moderate all through the year with temperature between 18” celsius to 28“ Celsius throughout the year. The annual rainfall is about 3821 mm.- Non navigable big rivers like Tuipui, Tuichang and Mat rivers flow through Serchhip District All the rivers flow from North to South. A big river'Piau is [lowing at the border of Burma. 'I'hc rivers are mostly lough with rapid flow in a number of places. Among these rivers only Mat has Hat valley near Serchhip town wfiich is the vegetable basket of Mizoram with abundant wet cultivation of rice and mustard seeds. Thus the biggest production of vegetables of different kinds is found here. 1.3 SOCm CULTURAL BACKGROUND The
