Khawchhiar in the Mizo village was:
A)
The village writer
B)
Aman who advises the Chief where jhums should be cut each year
C)
The village blacksmith
D)
The village crier
In traditional Mizo village administration, the 'Khawchhiar' served as the official village crier. His primary role was to communicate the orders, announcements, and decrees of the Chief (Lal) to the villagers. He would typically call out to the people or use a specific signal to gather the villagers to hear important news or instructions.
Analysis of other options:
- Option (a) is incorrect as literacy was not widespread in traditional Mizo society before the arrival of Christian missions; there was no designated 'village writer'.
- Option (b) refers to a role related to agricultural planning (Jhum), which was typically handled by the Chief in consultation with elders or specific land experts, not the Khawchhiar.
- Option (c) refers to the blacksmith, who in Mizo is known as 'Siamtu' or 'Thlahtu' depending on the specific craft, not the Khawchhiar.

The technology used by SIPMIU in municipal solid waste processing plant in Tuirial is
A)
Anaerobic composting under controlled condition
B)
Accelerated anaerobic composting under controlled condition
C)
Aerobic composting under controlled condition
D)
Accelerated aerobic composting under controlled condition
The State Project Management Unit (SPMU/SIPMIU) in Mizoram, under the Swachh Bharat Mission and urban development initiatives, implemented municipal solid waste management plants in various locations, including Tuirial. The specific technology adopted for these plants is 'Accelerated Aerobic Composting under controlled conditions'.
1. Aerobic Composting: This process uses oxygen to break down organic matter via aerobic bacteria, which is faster and produces less odor than anaerobic processes.
2. Accelerated: The process is 'accelerated' through the use of specific microbial consortia (bio-accelerators) and controlled aeration to reduce the composting cycle from several months to a few weeks.
3. Controlled Conditions: This refers to the management of moisture, temperature, and aeration (turning or forced air) to optimize the decomposition process.
Options (a) and (b) are incorrect because anaerobic processes are typically used for biogas production (digesters) rather than standard composting plants of this type. Option (c) is partially correct but lacks the 'accelerated' component which is the defining characteristic of the modern plants installed by the state agencies to handle urban waste efficiently.

Most of the Mizo chiefs usually have in addition to their real wife several concubines. The children by concubines are known as:
A)
Chhungpuifa
B)
Sawn
C)
Hmeifa
D)
Khumpuifa
In the traditional Mizo social structure, the Chief (Lal) held a position of significant power and often had multiple wives and concubines. The children born to the Chief's official/real wife were considered the primary heirs and held a higher social status. However, children born to the Chief's concubines were referred to as 'Chhungpuifa'. While they were recognized as the offspring of the Chief, they did not possess the same hereditary rights to the chieftainship as the children of the primary wife.
Analysis of other options:
- 'Sawn' generally refers to something shifted or moved, or in some contexts, a specific type of arrangement, but not a kinship term for children of concubines.
- 'Hmeifa' refers to a female/woman (Hmei = woman, fa = child/offspring), which is a general term and not specific to the status of being born to a concubine.
- 'Khumpuifa' is not the standard term used in Mizo anthropological records to describe the children of a Chief's concubines.
