Draft Fifth Five Year Plan on General Education and Technical Education (Mizoram)

Abstract

From Introduction: Mizoram with an extremely difficult and hilly terrain is almost completely inhabited by tribals. It covers an area of 21090 Sq. Kms with a population of 3,32,000 according to 1971 census. The population is likely to increase to 350000 by the end of the Fourth Five Year Plan and to 400,000 approximately by the end of the Fifth Plan. The annexure attached to the Govt. India's letter No. 17/5/1(4)/71 Education-Mizo dated 7th February, 1973, does not contain population of Mizoram, neither actual for any year nor that projected for the year 1974 and 1979. Hence the relevant projected figures have been computed approximately taking into account the usual growth rate.
