The '''Chakma Autonomous District Council''' (CADC) is an autonomous council under the [[India|Republic of India]]. It is located in the [[Northeast India|Northeast Indian]] state of [[Mizoram]], of which it covers about 3.25% area of the state. It governs part of the [[Lawngtlai district]] that is sometimes called the '''Chakma District''' ('''''[[Chakma script|Chakma]]: '''𑄌𑄋𑄴𑄟𑄳𑄦 𑄝𑄟𑄴''',''' ''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/>''Canghma Bamh'<nowiki/>'' ), a landlocked [[Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India|autonomous district]].<ref>{{Cite web |title= |url=https://www.mea.gov.in/Images/pdf1/S6.pdf}}</ref> The Chakma District lies bordered to the north by [[Lunglei district|Lunglei District]], to the east by [[Lai Autonomous District Council|Lai District]], and shares international boundaries to the south with [[Chin State]] in [[Myanmar]], and to the west with the [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]] in Bangladesh. The administrative headquarters of the Chakma district is in [[Kamalanagar, Mizoram|Kamalanagar]] (also known as [[Lawngtlai district|Chawngte]]). Covering an area of 686.25 km2 (approximately 265 square miles), the Chakma district makes up about 3.25'''%''' of the total area of [[Mizoram]]. According to the [[2011 census of India|2011 Census of India]], the district is home to a population of 62,094.<ref>{{Cite web |title= CADC at a Glance – Chakma Autonomous District Council|url=https://www.cadc.gov.in/cadc-at-a-glance/}}</ref>

Its headquarters is at [[Kamalanagar (Mizoram)|Kamalanagar]]. The Chakma people has been demanding to change the status of the Chakma Autonomous District Council into a Union territory under the name [[Chakmaland]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.epw.in/journal/2009/23/commentary/mizoram-minority-report.html|title=Mizoram: Minority report|website=Economic & Political Weekly|date=6 June 2009 |url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://arunachaltimes.in/index.php/2017/09/21/sc-verdict-on-chakmas-hajongs-could-prove-catastrophic-for-arunachal/|title=SC verdict on Chakmas, Hajongs could prove catastrophic for Arunachal|newspaper=Arunachal Times|author=Taba Ajum|date=21 September 2017|access-date=2 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eastmojo.com/mizoram/2021/12/06/chakmas-condemn-mizo-govt-over-proposed-6th-schedule-amendment%20Chakmas%20condemn%20Mizoram%20Govt%20over%20proposed%206th%20Schedule%20Amendment|title=Chakmas condemn Mizo Govt over proposed 6th Schedule Amendment}}</ref>

The CADC was formed under the Sixth schedule of the [[Constitution of India]] on 29 April 1972. The council is the replication of the state assembly and exercises executive power over specially allotted departments. It is one of the three Autonomous District Councils of [[Mizoram]] state in North-East India. It is an autonomous council for ethnic [[Chakma people]] living in South-Western Mizoram bordering Bangladesh and Myanmar. There is also a growing demand for 'Chakmaland' union territory.

[[File:NE Autonomous divisions of India.svg|350px|thumb|right|North Eastern autonomous divisions]]

== Etymology ==
The name ''Chakma'' derives from the [[Chakma people]], the primary inhabitants of this autonomous region. The term "''Chakma''" is believed to have historical roots, possibly deriving from the [[Sanskrit]] word '''"'''''Sakya'''''"''', referencing the followers of [[The Buddha|Buddha]], as the Chakmas have strong historical and cultural ties to [[Buddhism]].{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

==History==
In 1954 the Central and Assam governments established a regional council, the ''Pawi Lakher Regional Council'' (PLRC), for the Lakhers (aka [[Mara people|Mara]]) and the Pawis (aka [[Lai people|Lai]]), in which a large number of [[Chakma people|Chakmas]] also resided. However, the PLRC could not function properly right from its inception as there was no common communication language among the three tribal communities to understand each other. The first meeting was held without understanding each other's language. Consequently, in 1958 the Maras boycotted PLRC meetings. In 1972, to resolve the issue the PLRC was divided into three regional councils and upgraded to 3 district councils for Maras, Lais and Chakmas: [[Mara Autonomous District Council|Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC)]], [[Lai Autonomous District Council|Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC)]] and CADC.<ref name="AgPlan-284" />

While [[Mara Autonomous District Council|MADC]] remained under a single district of [[Siaha district|Saiha]], CADC and [[Lai Autonomous District Council|LADC]] were accommodated under the [[Lawngtlai district]] with the district headquarters at [[Lawngtlai]]. The then Chakma leaders of the Mizo District Council and Pawi-Lakher Regional Council actively engaged themselves with the Government of Assam and the Government at the centre for the creation of an autonomous council for the [[Chakma people|Chakmas]] of [[Mizoram]] with the inclusion of all Chakma inhabited areas which presently remains outside CADC. Unfortunately only the portion under Pawi-Lakher Regional council got considered. Out of that also many [[Chakma people|Chakma]] inhabited villages along the eastern bank of river [[Tuichawng]] were not considered under CADC. Thus two-third of the [[Chakma people|Chakmas]] of [[Mizoram]] had to remain outside the council.<ref>{{Cite web |title= About CADC – Chakma Autonomous District Council|url=https://www.cadc.gov.in/about-cadc/}}</ref>

==Geography==
The surface area of the Chakma Autonomous District Council is 686.25 km2.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cadc.gov.in/|title=Chakma Autonomous District Council – The official website of the Chakma Autonomous District Council, Mizoram, India|date=11 June 2024}}</ref> The headquarters of Chakma Autonomous District Council is [[Kamalanagar (Mizoram)|Kamalanagar]], which means the land of oranges in [[Chakma language]]. It is parted into Kamalanagar -1,2,3 & 4. There is only one college in CADC called as Kamalanagar College located at Kamalanagar-2 (Randokpur).<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=Government Kamalanagar College |url=http://www.gknc.in/ |access-date=2024-06-11 |language=en}}</ref> Kamalanagar is located on the north-eastern corner of C.A.D.C and on the bank of Tuichawng river. On the east of Kamalanagar town i.e. on the other bank of Toizong (Tuichawng) there stands two Mizo villages known as Chawngte P and Chawngte L. On the eastern bank of Toizong is divided by the rivulet, Chawngte L (Ponsury as called by the Chakmas) the northern bank falling under Lunglei General district and the southern bank Chawngte P, under Lai autonomous District Council.

The Chakma district falls between 21⁰58’ (N) and 22⁰45’ (N) and between 92⁰30’ (E) and 92⁰45’ (E). The tropic of cancer passes over it and its climate is hot and humid. The gentle foothills of the mighty [[Himalayas]] adorn its landscape. The two main rivers – Toijong and Thega – weave along the eastern and the western sides respectively forming its natural boundaries. In the north it is bounded by [[Lunglei district|Lunglei District]], [[Myanmar]] in the South, [[Lai Autonomous District Council|LADC]] in the east and Bangladesh in the west.

==Economy==
Majority of the Chakmas in Mizoram take up farming as their occupation. This occupation is inherited from their ancestors. They mainly grow rice, vegetables and fruits, etc. Rice is considered as the staple food of the Chakmas living in Chakma Autonomous District Council.
