The Mizoram Legislative Assembly is the unicameral legislature of Mizoram state in Northeast India. The seat of the legislative assembly is at Aizawl, the capital of the state. The assembly comprises 40 members [1] directly elected from single-seat constituencies. It sits for a term of five years, unless it is dissolved earlier. [2] : 72  Early dissolution of state assemblies happens when the governing party (or alliance) loses confidence of the assembly. This leads to either the President's Rule being imposed on the state, or early elections being called. Mizoram is the fourth-smallest state in India, covering 21,081 km2 (8,139 sq mi); and the second-least populous state with a population of 1.10 million. [3] The Mizoram Legislative Assembly has existed since 1972, when it had 30 constituencies.

Since the independence of India, the Scheduled Tribes (ST) along with the Scheduled Castes (SC) have been given Reservation status, guaranteeing political representation, and the Constitution lays down the general principles of positive discrimination for STs and SCs. [2] : 35, 137  [4] The 2011 census of India stated that the indigenous population constitutes 95% of the state's total population. [5] [6] The Scheduled Tribes have been granted a reservation of 39 seats in the Mizoram assembly, leaving only one (Aizawl East-I) unreserved. [7]

History

Mizoram became a Union Territory of India in 1972, at which time it was assigned a 30-member legislative assembly and it had its first election. [8] In 1986, after the Mizoram Peace Accord was signed, the 53rd Amendment to the Constitution of India was passed. Mizoram was officially converted into a state in February 1987, and the number of constituencies for its legislative assembly was increased to 40. [9] [10]

However, the State continues to promote itself and many projects have been initiated. The tourism ministry continues to maintain or upgrade its tourist lodges throughout the state. Foreign tourists are required to obtain an 'inner line permit' under the special permit before visiting. The permit can be obtained from Indian missions abroad for a limited number of days or direct from Mizoram Government authorities within India. The state is rich in bird diversity, which has the potentiality to make it a major birding destination. Mizoram is a stronghold for Mrs. Hume's pheasant. There is also a rare record of the wild water buffalo from the state. There are several past records of the Sumatran rhinoceros from Mizoram, then Lushai Hills.
