In Mizoram, the National Tribal Youth Festival is being celebrated with enthusiasm and festive spirit at the State Tribal Resource Centre, Kelsih, near Aizawl. The four-day-long festival was set into motion on April 8.

The National Tribal Youth Festival is celebrated in commemoration of the year-long celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda. The festival aimed to honour tribal freedom fighters and ignite patriotic fervour amongst the youth and the public. The festival is being enriched by performances rendered by the Mizo’s top graded artists and members of the Mizo Zaimi Insuikhawm (MZI). Cultural presentations highlighting the rich Mizo culture by the Mizo Cultural Organisation and presentations from various cultural organisations have added a confluence of “Mosaic of Cultures” in the celebration.

Celebrated guitarist from Nagaland Imnainla Jamir and Vawnchawi Vaiphei from Manipur are also participating in the four-day-long National Tribal Youth Festival. The festival will go on till April 11.
