Mizoram’s governmental structure is defined by the national Constitution of India, following a framework similar to most other Indian states.1

The state's administration includes the following components:

  • Executive Branch: The governor, who serves as the head of state, is appointed by the president of India. The governor is assisted by a chief minister and a Council of Ministers.1
  • Legislative Branch: The state features a unicameral Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha).1
  • Administrative Divisions: Mizoram is divided into several administrative districts, each overseen by a deputy commissioner.1
  • Judiciary: The state is served by the High Court of Guwahati (Assam), which maintains a permanent bench in Aizawl. Lower-level judicial functions are handled by district council and village courts. Notably, in Mizoram, the judiciary is not separate from the executive branch of government.1
