EVALUATION of the Essay

This essay is extremely well-informed about the institutional history of the Zou community. Moreover, its contents are factually accurate. For its level of training, it displays ample evidence of original treatment and critical thinking on the subject matter. There is also at least one reference to the relevant literature (i.e. Ginzatuang’s Zomi Innkuan Laibu). Use of language is effective. The tone is empirical and objective at best, but it also partly indulges in policy recommendations. This piece deserves to be read by a larger audience.

Jacintha Lazarus – A leader in deeds

~ T. Zamlunmang Zou

The Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur, Miss Jacintha Lazarus has proved one of the world’s famous quote “Action speaks louder than words” by showing what civil service or servant is all about within a short span of time.

She not only set her foots till the far flung areas of our district but also took the bold initiative for the reforestation of our deforested administrative centre of the district i.e. Lamka. Her action on July 13 2010 took the people of Churachandpur in surprise. Jacintha Lazarus braved torrential rain to take a firsthand account on the progress of her pet project of nurturing a leafy catchment area. Accompanied by a handful of officials and her private security personnel, the lady administrator walked along the marshy terrain to reach the catchment area of the district Zone II water source. Walking for more than a kilometre through the barren jungle on foot under the heavy downpower, Jacintha was soaked from tip-to-toe. Undeterred, she also strolled along a ’shaktiman’ path used for quarrying in an attempt to halt the practice. Lazarus’s expedition was a matchless devotion from the country’s elite bureaucrats, and what’s more is the fact that it was from a one of the few lady from the elite group.
