Bru Students Association.

Introduction

The Bru Students Association is one of the oldest and one of the most important Non-Governmental organizations which was created by the earlier educated youth of the Bru Community. The Bru/Reang are one of the tribes residing mainly in the northeast states of Mizoram, Tripura, and Assam. The earlier educated youth of the Bru Community set up the Bru Student Association in the year 1991. Until today the BSA has worked tirelessly for the betterment of the students and inside the Mizoram and outside Mizoram.

Brief about Mizoram Bru

Mizoram with a 21,087 area of km has a population of 10,91,014 at the 2011 census. Mizos make up the majority of the population in Mizoram, and the main language is Mizo. Hindi is infrequently spoken in Mizoram. Despite the fact that Mizo is the majority, there are a few other tribes in Mizoram, including Chakma, Mara, Lai, Hmar, and Reang. The important thing to remember is that every tribe named above, with the exception of Chakma and Reang/Bru, is a sub-tribe of Mizo. In the state of Mizoram, the Bru and Chakma were minorities. According to the 2011 census, there were approximately 32,634 persons in Mizoram, accounting for approximately 2.99% of the population. The reason for a decline in Bru Mizoram's population was a communal dispute between Mizo and Bru on October 21, 1997. Almost 30,000 people have been displaced and are seeking refuge in Tripura's six relief camps. Mizoram's Reang/Bru are largely concentrated in four districts: Mamit, Lunglei, Lawngtlai, and Kolasib. According to the most recent "Baptist Today" examination on the Brus population in Mizoram, there are 58,269 of them living in 80 different villages around the state. This population is made up of 11,350 Brus families.3 Some of the largest Bru villages in Mizoram are Damparengpui and Tuipuibari village located in Mamit District

Working of the BSA Gen HQ for 2022 – 2023

The Bru Student Association is working hard to facilitate the Bru Student in Mizoram. For the past 31 years, the Bru Student Association has taken up several issues for the upliftment of the Bru community as a whole and the Bru Student in particular. Some of the pressing issues that have been taken up by the BSA are regarding the creation of the Bru Hostel and Bru House in Mizoram. However, till today the Hostel nor the House has not been constructed. For the year 2022 – 2023, the BSA has organized several programs such as:

1. Fund Raising: The main income of the BSA is through fundraising. For the years 2022 – 2023, BSA has organized programs such as Blanket washing and selling of lucky tickets. For the washing of blankets, almost 20 members turned up and around 15 blankets were washed. The BSA earned 3,100 from this program. 2. Helping the Needy: The BSA is doing everything it can to honour the Bru students and the community as a whole. Because the BSA General Headquarters is in Aizawl, Mizoram, anytime there are sick or needy people in hospitals, the BSA OB will do their utmost to meet them and assist them in whatever capacity they can. 3. Student Felicitation: One of the most important works the BSA has done in the recent past is organizing a felicitation program for the Bru student Aizawl area as well as at the Regional and Branch levels. Due to the covid 19 for the past three years, we have been unable to organize the felicitation program for the students. However, in 2023, the program was once again revived and many of the students who cleared their classes - 10, 12, Bachelor and Master were given tokens of appreciation in the form of certificates. Also, the program was used by the BSA to encourage the student to do better in their exam and strive for excellence in education. In this program, the freshers are also welcomed and given the opportunity to speak up and express themselves. 4. Picnics: Another very important activity that the Bru Student Association organized is picnics and sports. We have organized a picnic for the Office Bearer separately. This enhances the relations among the Office Bearer creates a better sense of understanding and results in better cooperation among the leaders. We also organized picnics for the members. Through this program, the members were able to make better relations among themselves and create better relations between the leaders and the members.
