It is a landlocked region sharing international borders with Myanmar to the south and Bangladesh to the west, domestic border with Lai Autonomous District Council to the east and Lunglei district to the North.

[5][6][7] The Chakma Autonomous District Council 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 an autonomous council for ethnic Chakma people living in South-Western Mizoram bordering Bangladesh and Myanmar.

In 1954 the Central and Assam governments established a regional council, the Pawi Lakher Regional Council (PLRC), for the Lakhers (aka Mara) and the Pawis (aka Lai), in which a large number of 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 majority of the people of Chakma Autonomous District Council follow Theravada Buddhism.
