Chairman of the Mizo Diaspora Cell, Pu Vanlaldina Fanai, said the Cell was established on June 11, 2024, to address the challenges faced by Mizos abroad, particularly those migrating through irregular routes or vulnerable to exploitation. He emphasized the need for responsible migration and closer ties with the homeland.

Fanai acknowledged the cooperation of multiple departments in supporting the Cell’s work, including the Ministry of External Affairs, Home Department, SP (CID & Crime Branch), LESDE, MYC, and Law & Judicials.

The portal is currently open for registration by welfare associations, with individual registration expected to follow soon. With its long-term vision, the platform is intended to support emergency response, cultural preservation, and diaspora-led development.

It was developed by the Mizo Diaspora Cell under the Chief Minister’s Office in partnership with LushAITech, without significant government expenditure. The CM praised the collaboration as a cost-effective model for public service innovation, underscoring the role of local tech talent in delivering solutions that serve the global Mizo community.

Estimates suggest that more than 200,000 Mizos live outside Mizoram, including in other parts of India and neighboring countries. The new platform is expected to play a key role in bridging distances, preserving identity, and coordinating support for communities in times of need.
