10 February 2007: A group of Chin student leaders from different universities in Burma held their annual meeting in Mandalay town, the second capital of Burma. The meet was successfully concluded last week.
At the annual meeting of Central Chin Literature and Culture Committee (CLCC) 29 representatives of Chin student leaders from different universities in Burma got together and adopted a concrete resolution about their future plans.
The meeting was held aiming to strive for peace and unity among Chin tribal groups, according to the CLCC meeting’s report.
The CLCC report said that all those attending the meeting had agreed to hold a seminar in Matupi town in Chin state in April this year where the Chin national anthem is to be introduced. Well-know musician and composer Salai Taunna will compose the anthem soon.
The Central CLCC also decided to publish a magazine in 2007 and its next annual meeting is scheduled to be held in Pyi, formerly known as Prome in Magwey division in 2008.
At the Central CLCC meeting Chin student leaders from Yangon, Magwe, Pyi, Pakoku, Monywa, and Mandalay universities in Burma were present. There were no representatives from Kalay University.
In
Burma, setting up student unions is prohibited by the military regime
therefore literature and culture committees become the hub of student
activities. - KNG
