He said that the flagship “TANGPUIHNA” programme, which will help farmers sell their crops and help, support, and train those who aspire to thrive in agriculture, will be implemented.

He also emphasized about the Young Mizo Entrepreneurship Programme (YmElevate), which will provide young entrepreneurs with a one lakh funding opportunity.

It will also give subsidised LPG gas at Rs 750/- per cylinder to AAY and PHH card holders and women-headed families.
