Aizawl, Oct 2025: The MHIP Shillong Branch celebrated its Silver Jubilee today at the NEC Auditorium, Shillong. Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma attended the event as the chief guest, while Pi Baryl Vanneihsangi, MLA, was the guest of honour.

In his address, the Chief Minister expressed appreciation to MHIP members and praised the Shillong Branch for their service to the Mizo community residing in Shillong, particularly students and patients who receive help and care from the organization.

Therefore, he urged them to uphold discipline and unity, just as they do with the YMA, and to continue working together for the welfare and development of society. He also called for continued collaboration with the Mizo officers serving in the Meghalaya government and DRC officials to strengthen community ties and welfare efforts.

Pu Lalduhoma commended the remarkable work of MHIP for women’s welfare in Mizoram and highlighted that the Mizoram government is proud to have a woman Cabinet Minister for the first time, symbolizing women’s growing role in governance and leadership.
