AIZAWL, AUG 17 (PTI): The Mizoram assembly will hold a two-day monsoon session from August 25, during which it is expected to formally adopt ‘Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che’ as the official state song, an official said on Monday.
The schedule for the session was finalised at a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) on August 14, chaired by Speaker Lalbiakzama, she said. A resolution seeking the formal adoption of the state song is expected to be moved during the session, while several bills are also likely to be introduced.
The state cabinet had on August 10 approved ‘Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che’ as Mizoram’s official state song.
Composed in 1947 by renowned Mizo writer and composer Rokunga, the song, whose title translates to “Be Thou Our Counsellor”, was declared the Mizo national anthem by the underground government of the Mizo National Front (MNF) during the insurgency.
Though it did not have official recognition for decades, the song has long been regarded as Mizoram’s anthem.
In 2022, the then MNF-led state government directed all schools in Mizoram to sing the song before the start of classes.
The assembly secretariat has so far received 295 starred and 73 unstarred questions for ministers to answer orally and in writing during the session, the official said.
Two fresh bills, including the Mizoram Water Information and Governance Bill, 2026, have also been submitted for introduction in the House, she added.
