Grassroots Governance and Women’s Political Representation in Kanhmun Village Council

Author(s) Ms. P.C. Lalnunnemi, Dr. Ritesh Mishra
Country India
Abstract Before Mizoram gained its independence, the chief was in charge of running the village. The North East Frontier (Assam) Tribal and Excluded Areas Committee, known as the Bordoloi committee, was established by the constituent assembly following India's independence with the responsibility of proposing an institutional framework for governing the Assamese hill regions. The British had entered Mizoram in 1890 and attempted to get as little involved in administration as possible, keeping the chief in charge of the administration. In each hill district, district councils were established under the committee's direction. These suggestions were added to the sixth schedule of the Indian Constitution and integrated into Article 244 (2). With the passage of the Lushai Hills District (Village Councils) Act in 1953, the village councils were established in 1954 and functioned as Mizoram's grassroots democracy. Women were probably going to be participating from the first general election for village councils. In order to reserve one-third of the seats in rural and urban bodies for women, the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments were passed by the PV Narasimha Rao government. The legislative assembly of Mizoram reserved seats for women in 2014 with the passage of the "Lushai Hills District (Village Council) (Amendment) Act." This paper tries to examine the grassroots governance of women’s political representation in Kanhmun village council (Mamit district).
