Seminar on
"Analysing Peace & The Challenges of Development in Mizoram",
December 4-5, 2002, Aizawl
The seminar was held with the objective of examining the lessons of peace
in Mizoram, and their potential for replication in other northeastern
states. It assessed the contemporary undercurrents of instability, patterns
of political activity and discourse, and the potential for violence within
the State. Spread over two days, the seminar analysed the challenges of
development in the State. Possibilities of an economic resurgence and
the potential for benefits to ‘trickle down’ to the grassroots level came
for close scrutiny in the context of assessing the present policies of
the State government.
