The Higher and Technical Institute Mizoram is a new and the
first Christian College in Mizoram established on June 2007 to
respond the challenges mentioned below:  Challenges: The tribal
in the North Eastern India are confronted with the following
challenges:    • The traditional jhum cultivation “slash and
burning the forest” is no longer sustainable; this method of
farming is economically not viable and ecologically destructive.
• The traditional- literary education from the time of
missionaries has not been improved, now quality of education has
gone down although universalization of primary education is
achieved. The existing education system does not provide the
required knowledge and skill neither to get job nor to start any
project to generate income.   • Only a few families, the cream
of society, could afford to send their children for higher
studies outside of Mizoram. Most of the students who have gone
for higher and technical education outside of  Mizoram do not
get admission in the first grade i
