Aizawl: For the first time in Mizoram, Hnahsik Kut, celebrating the blooming of cosmo flowers, was inaugurated at Aui Garden, Champhai, on October 4 by Adviser to the Chief Minister for Planning & Finance, TBC Lalvenchhunga.
In his opening remarks, Lalvenchhunga commended the Organising Committee, Champhai Nature Conservancy, and government officials for their tireless efforts in organizing the festival. He also acknowledged the contributions of former Champhai community leaders in protecting and preserving the natural beauty and safety of the region.
The main objectives of Hnahsik Kut 2024 are to create a platform to showcase and market Champhai’s tourist attractions, promote tourism in Champhai District, and provide livelihood opportunities for local communities. The festival also aims to boost Mizoram’s tourist market competitiveness, particularly Champhai, by addressing the needs of tourists and travellers. Furthermore, it seeks to support local entrepreneurs, florists, farmers, artisans, musicians, and handloom and handicraft creators by providing them with a venue to display and sell their crafts, generating additional livelihoods.
