Mizoram CM Lalduhoma expressed deep concern over the declining number of educated Mizo youths clearing recruitment exams, including state government positions. Speaking at the Mizo Students’ Union conference in Hnahthial, he highlighted poor performance in national and state-level recruitments, citing low Mizo turnout at a recent BSF rally. Lalduhoma urged students to work harder, aim for excellence, explore entrepreneurship, and enroll in central institutions like EMRS and JNV for better academic exposure. He announced a special budget for educational study tours and stated all state government direct recruitment vacancies will be publicly advertised. Currently, 2,087 jobs have been approved under ZPM.
