Message of the Hon’ble Governor General (Dr) Vijay Kumar Singh, PVSM, AVSM, YSM (Retd) on the occasion of the 52nd Foundation Day of MHIP

Aizawl, the 5th of July, 2026: On the occasion of the 52nd Foundation Day of the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP), I extend my warm and sincere greetings to the entire organisation.

Since its inception on 6th July 1974, with the noble motto “Service to Others”, MHIP has emerged as one of the foremost women’s voluntary organisations in Mizoram. Over the decades, it has worked tirelessly to safeguard the rights, dignity and welfare of women and the vulnerable sections of society, while preserving the rich Mizo culture, traditions, and heritage, and contributing significantly to social welfare and community development.

For over five decades, the organisation has played a pivotal role in protecting women’s rights, combating violence and discrimination, and advocating crucial reforms in marriage, divorce and inheritance laws. Through its sustained efforts in education, health awareness, legal aid and social service, MHIP has empowered countless women and families across the state.

Guided by the principle of “Women’s welfare, justice and empowerment through social service,” MHIP continues to make valuable contributions to society. The conferment of the prestigious Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2016 stands as a well-deserved recognition of its dedicated and impactful work.

I am confident that MHIP will continue to collaborate closely with the Government, other NGOs and all sections of society in implementing various welfare schemes for women and children. As women are the cornerstone of every family – the fundamental institution where character is built, values are nurtured and the future of every nation takes shape – I am certain that MHIP members will play a vital role in the successful implementation of initiatives aimed at building a Viksit Mizoram, thereby contributing to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

As you celebrate this important milestone, I wish the MHIP continued success, strength and greater achievements in the years ahead.

Thank you.

MHIP Day Chibai.
