Land and land revenue management are vital aspects of governance within the Mising Autonomous Council (MAC), ensuring equitable distribution of resources and sustainable development. The MAC oversees land administration, including land allocation, lease agreements and land-use planning, to promote agricultural productivity, conservation and socio-economic growth.
Land revenue collection, governed by MAC regulations, plays a crucial role in generating revenue for local development projects and infrastructure initiatives. Revenue is collected through various mechanisms such as agricultural taxes, land leases and fees for land transactions.
Key Initiatives
- Land administration — allocation, leases, land-use planning.
- Revenue collection — agricultural taxes, land leases, transaction fees.
- Protection of ancestral lands and prevention of encroachment.
- Resolution of land disputes through community and legal mechanisms.
- Implementation of land tenure policies for indigenous communities.
Way Forward
Additionally, the MAC implements land tenure policies that prioritise the rights and interests of indigenous communities, including the Mising people, in accordance with customary laws and traditions. Efforts are made to protect ancestral lands, prevent land encroachment and resolve land disputes through community-based mechanisms and legal frameworks. Overall, land and land revenue management under the MAC aim to ensure sustainable land use, foster socio-economic progress and uphold the rights of indigenous communities within the autonomous council area.
