Mizoram is one of the states of
Northeast India, with Aizawl as its capital. The name is derived from
Mi (people),
Zo (Belonging to the people of Mizoram/Lushai Hills) and
Ram (land), and thus Mizoram implies "land of the hill people". In the northeast, it is the southern most landlocked state sharing borders with three of the
seven sister states, namely
Tripura,
Assam,
Manipur. The state also shares a 722 kilometer border with the neighbouring countries of
Bangladesh and
