mizoram legislative ASSEMBLYAizawl, Mar 22 : The sixth Mizoram Assembly budget session began today with customary address by Governor Lt Gen (rtd) M M Lakhera.

In his gubernatorial address, Gen Lakhera said the government is dedicated to bring about development and prosperity to its people under the canopy of peace.

The government has undertaken a number of measures for a more profitable and sustainable system of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and live-stock rearing as well as handloom and micro-industry, he said.

''High priority is being given to quality education, health care, sports and youth welfare, power generation, transportation and communication, housing, water supply as well as food availability in the entire state,'' Mr Lakhera said.

The Central schemes such as MGNREGS, JNNURM, NRHM, IWDP, SJSRY, SGSY, IAY and others were being successfully carried out, affording the rural poor a better chance towards self-sufficiency and economic security, he explained.

''In an effort to make Mizoram a preferred tourist destination, tourism development board has been formed to frame better policy and guidelines for promotion of tourism,'' the governor informed.

He also highlighted that there has been 22.9 per cent growth in collection of taxes during 2010-2011.

Conservation of natural resources and wildlife as well as afforestation is another high priority for the government, the governor said.
