Smart Fencing Along the India-Myanmar Border: Integrating Technology, Community Engagement and Government Initiatives

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: : This paper explores a multidimensional approach to securing the India-Myanmar border in Mizoram through smart surveillance technologies, community-based engagement, tribal corridor management, and socioeconomic development. In light of strong local opposition to conventional fencing, we review global and national border management practices, analyze the unique context of Mizoram, and propose a sustainable and culturally sensitive strategy. We advocate for policy adaptations that align with the region's social fabric while strengthening national security. The study draws on comparative global experiences in managing borders inhabited by indigenous and tribal populations, offering a robust alternative to conventional fencing.
