Aizawl college

History

Established ‘Aizawl College’ in 1975 by a team of philanthropic citizens meeting at the Office chamber of the then Legislative Assembly Speaker, Dr. H.Thansanga, on the 13th. January 1975, Aizawl College (later renamed Govt. Aizawl College following its take-over by the State Government) was formally inaugurated by Pu Ch.Chhunga, the first Chief Minister of Mizoram. Classes started on the evening of 25.8.1975 with 350 students of Pre University Class and six Lecturers in English, Mizo, History, Economics, Political Science and Education subjects. Authority of the College, per standing Govt. Rules for Aided Colleges, vested in a Governing Body of 12 members including a President, Secretary and Treasurer, whose appointment was made by the concerned Department in the government.

Location

Aizawl College started classes in the premises of the Govt. Boys’ M.E. School at Sikulpuikawn, Mission Veng, in the evening. Two multi-storied buildings have been constructed for the College in the vacant lot between the school building and the main road which, by local standard, is quite impressive, but not quite sufficient to meet the ever growing demands of today’s career-oriented education.

Campus Layout

The College has a good view of the surrounding ever-green hills of Reiek to the west and Hmuifang on the south in the background, and the well tended compounds of the Mizo Presbyterian Synod Headquarters in the foreground. The presence of a fully equipped Conference Center of the Synod in many ways alleviate the shortcoming of the college in organizing official functions. However, the college is soon to have a Hall of its own at the top of the two buildings on the fund made available by the honorable M.P., Pu Lalhmingliana, himself an alumnus of the College.
