'''Government Saiha College''' is the only college in [[Saiha district]] of [[Mizoram]], [[northeast India]]. It is the first college in southern Mizoram. It was established in 1978 as a result of public demand, and recognised by the [[Government of Mizoram]] in 1979. It started as only [[Arts College|arts college]]. It is now under the jurisdiction of the [[Mizoram University]] and under recognition of the [[University Grants Commission (India)]].

Under [[governmental organisation]] of Mizoram, it operates as a branch of the [[Mizoram College Teachers' Association]].<ref>{{cite web| author= MCTA|title= About Mizoram College Teachers' Association |year= 2012| url= http://www.mcta.org.in/13-mcta-newsletter/1-about-mizoram-college-teachers-association |work= mcta.org.in |publisher= Mizoram College Teachers' Association|accessdate= 8 August 2013}}</ref>

==History ==

The demand for an institute of [[higher education]] in [[Chhimtuipui district]] (from which Saiha district would later split up) emerged in 1974. In June 1974, a demand committee was organised under the chair of K. Paichho, the then Executive Member of [[Mara Autonomous District Council]]. However, financial constraint prevented immediate action. By public pressure, Saiha College was inaugurated on 20 July 1978 with only a [[pre-university course]]. The Government of Mizoram sanctioned permission/recognition the next year, on 2 November 1979. It received affiliation from [[North Eastern Hill University]], [[Shillong]], in 1980. [[Bachelor's degree]] course was started in 1980, and was recognised by the university in 1984. Science subject was introduced in 1988. [[Honours degree]] subjects were initiated in 1986 in [[political science]] and [[history]]. The college was upgraded to the status of deficit [[grant-in-aid]] system under the state government in 1985. It became a full-fledged [[Government College University, Lahore|government college]] in 1992. NEHU issued permanent affiliation in 1995. Affiliation was transferred to Mizoram University, when the university was created in 2001.<ref>{{cite web| author=Government Saiha College |title= About Government Saiha College, Saiha |date=2011–2012 | url= http://www.governmentsaihacollege.edu.in/about.html |work= www.governmentsaihacollege.edu.in |publisher=Government Saiha College |accessdate= 8 August 2013}}</ref>
