AIZAWL, May 3: Mizoram Home Minister K Sapdanga has expressed concern over the low number of Mizos entering central government services and called for collective action to improve representation in key sectors such as the Civil Services and Staff Selection Commission (SSC).
While acknowledging that some Mizos are serving in central government offices and contributing effectively, he emphasised that a stronger presence in national cadres is not just about employment, but about regional influence.
“Having Mizo officials within the central government machinery is incredibly advantageous when the state needs to navigate and coordinate with New Delhi. There is a pressing need to encourage more Mizo youth to compete and succeed in Central services,” Sapdanga said.

He urged stakeholders, parents, and students to work together to bridge this gap, ensuring that local youth are competitive at the national level.
Describing the Career Fair as a “valuable and timely initiative,” Sapdanga lauded the organisers for creating a platform to guide students and job aspirants. The minister noted that such events play a crucial role in shaping career paths and raising awareness about opportunities. (PTI)
