Aizawl: Mizoram Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma has launched a new digital platform, ‘Mizo DiasporaHub’, to connect Mizos living in different parts of the world.
The portal, developed by the Mizo Diaspora Cell, in collaboration with LushAITech, was recently launched at the Aijal Club in Aizawl.
The portal is designed to serve as a central hub for Mizos living outside the state and abroad, allowing welfare associations and individuals to register, connect, and coordinate more effectively.
“This platform is not only a symbol of unity but also a functional tool to ensure collective welfare and timely intervention,” he said.
Lalduhoma emphasised that strong and sustained engagement with Mizo communities abroad is vital, and through this platform, “the government aims to strengthen those bonds”.
The portal includes AI-enabled tools such as automatic translation, SOS alerts, directories of office-bearers and associations, and details on gathering locations. It is now available on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and as a web version.
The chief minister urged all Mizo welfare associations and groups around the world to register on the portal and make use of its features.
The Mizo DiasporaHub is now open for registration by welfare associations, and individual registration will begin soon.
Chairman of the Mizo Diaspora Cell, Pu Vanlaldina Fanai, said the Cell was established on June 11, 2024, to address the challenges faced by Mizos abroad, particularly those migrating through irregular routes or vulnerable to exploitation. He emphasized the need for responsible migration and closer ties with the homeland.
