He said around 375 projects were being implemented in Mizoram under the DoNER Ministry, of which 75% had been completed. He also praised the progress made in the implementation of the projects.

Scindia also highlighted Mizoram’s progress in tourism, saying around 2.5 lakh tourists had visited the state in the first six months of this year, including about 9,000 foreign visitors.

He also praised two Mizo women hockey players for bringing recognition to India through their performance at the recently concluded Asian Games.
