Abstract

Mizoram, in spite of being a small state, has certain key features that make it distinct from other states of the country and highlights its potential for development. However, development has taken place in the state but some of the districts have been left behind. Mostof the districts havesubsistence farming as their main economic activity. They areland-locked with lack of transportational network and large distances between the markets and resources. Because of these constraints, traditional agriculture cannot be the lead sector for development. This can be achieved by working towards common goal through infrastructure development, tourism promotion, agriculture diversification, and agro-based industry.
