Mizoram Assembly Monsoon Session to Begin on August 25 with State Song Adoption on Agenda

The two-day monsoon session of the Mizoram assembly begins on August 25, with the House expected to officially adopt the historic song 'Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che' as the state anthem.

The Mizoram assembly is preparing to convene a two-day monsoon session starting August 25, during which the House is widely anticipated to formally adopt 'Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che' as the official state song. The schedule for the upcoming parliamentary proceedings was finalized during a Business Advisory Committee meeting held on August 14. The meeting was steered by Assembly Speaker Lalbiakzama, who reviewed the legislative agenda for the House.

A dedicated resolution proposing the formal adoption of the song is slated to be tabled during the session alongside the introduction of multiple bills. This legislative step follows a crucial decision by the state executive. The Mizoram Cabinet had previously given its official nod to 'Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che' as the state song during a meeting convened on August 10.

The song carries deep historical significance within the region. Composed back in 1947 by the prominent Mizo writer and composer Rokunga, its title translates into English as 'Be Thou Our Counsellor'. During the years of insurgency, the song was declared the Mizo national anthem by the underground administration of the Mizo National Front. Even though it lacked official government recognition for decades, local residents have continuously regarded it as the true anthem of Mizoram.

Recognizing its cultural weight, the state government under the Mizo National Front leadership had issued directives in 2022 mandating all schools across Mizoram to sing the composition prior to the commencement of daily classes.

Administrative preparations for the session are robust. The Assembly Secretariat has registered 295 starred questions and 73 unstarred questions meant for ministers to address on the floor of the House. Additionally, two fresh bills have been submitted for introduction, including the Mizoram Water Information and Governance Bill, 2026, marking another key legislative focus for the upcoming gathering.
