Mizoram Government urge all state government employees to wear traditional attire to observe 'Mim Kut'

The Mizoram Government on September 26 urged all state government employees to wear traditional Mizo attire to mark the observance of Mim Kut this year.

The General Administration Department under Government of Mizoram issued an office memorandum appealing all state government employees to wear traditional Mizo attire to observe the event.

The State Level Steering Committee on Mim Kût decided to revive this important festival of the Mizo, which in the olden days was observed not as a festival of gaeity and merriment, but as a mark of respect to their deceased loved ones and to wish their souls a safe passage onto the after life.

'Mim Kût, 2023' is to be the first of the annual event that the State Level Committee hopes it will become in coming years. 

The first event of the newly rejuvenated Mim Kût is scheduled to be held on 29th September, 2023 (Friday) at Vanapa Hall, Aizawl, with fund of Rs 20 lakhs from the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India.
