YMA’s 2nd woman branch president is single. In Mizoram, that’s a big deal

If you meet Rebecca Lalruatkimi, you would never guess she has been elected to head the youth and citizens of 400 households in the Sakawrtuichhun locality. With an easy smile, her sentences echo traces of humility, the most crucial trait when one services their life for the YMA.

Aizawl: Towards the end of 2022, a new chapter was written in the history of Mizoram in the Sakawrtuichhun locality. For the first time ever, Rebecca Lalruatkimi, a single woman, was elected as the branch president of the Young Mizo Association (YMA).

With this, Lalruatkimi became only the second woman president of a YMA unit. In 2010, Teresa Rothangpuii was elected as a YMA president of Sairang locality, becoming the first woman YMA president. Lalruatkimi is the second woman president and the first single woman elected for this post.
