𝐀𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐰𝐥, 𝟎𝟏 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), Shri Nirupam Chakma, met Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF), Government of Mizoram, Shri Rajeev Kumar Tiwari, in Aizawl on 31 August 2026 to discuss forest conservation, environmental protection and the effective implementation of forestry-related schemes in CADC. Shri Kalendra Tongchangya, OSD, Chakma House, Aizawl, accompanied the CEM during the meeting.
During the interaction, the PCCF briefed the CEM on major forestry and environmental programmes, including the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA), the Green India Mission, and programmes related to Forest Fire Risk Mitigation and Management.
The PCCF emphasised the need for stronger coordination between the Forest officials of CADC and the State Forest Department. He stated that regular communication, technical interaction and greater exchange of knowledge between the two levels of forest administration would contribute significantly to improving forest management and conservation in CADC.
Shri Nirupam Chakma appreciated the PCCF for providing valuable information on the various schemes and expressed his willingness to strengthen institutional coordination with the State Forest Department. He stated that CADC would explore greater participation in relevant forestry and environmental programmes to conserve the area’s rich forest resources while supporting sustainable livelihoods of local communities.
The CEM stressed that forest conservation and community participation must go hand in hand, particularly in a tribal area like CADC, where forests are closely linked with the livelihood, culture and traditional practices of the people.
The meeting concluded on a positive note, with both sides emphasising the importance of continued cooperation and coordination towards sustainable forest management and environmental protection in CADC.
