The Zomi National Congress (ZNC) was formed on 21st January, 1972 at Daijang, South District, Manipur. Under the leadership of T Gougin, as President and S.K. Samte (Semkhopau) as Secretary, the oganisation seeks the re-unification of the Zomi of Burma and India and also submitted a memorandum to the then President of India V. V. Giri.

It was at the initiative of the party that the First World Zomi Convention was held at Champhai, Mizoram from May 19 -21, 1988.

According to Mr.T.Gougin, "the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ was out of necessity, so also the birth of Zomi National Congress was for the good of the age-old down-trodden known as Zomis. Christ was necessary for the salvation of mankind whereas the birth of the Zomi National Congress was necessary for the political salvation of all the Zomis (Known by others as Kuki, Chin and Mizo)".

Till the birth of ZNC there was no party which thought of the unification of the Zomis and their political emancipation. The ZNC's ultimate goal is nothing less then the unification of all the Zomis.

A special session of ZNC was held on 8-9th July, 1983 in which a Political Resolution was mooted by by S.Thangkhangin, the then Secretary of the organisation who replaced S.K Samte. 

The resolution said: "Resolved that all Zomis should live together under the Administrative umbrella with the protection and care of the Indian Union". The resolution was seconded by the President of All Zomi Students' Association (Delhi), Mr.Holkholun Tungdim. 

A memorandum was submitted to the Prime Minister of India for the creation of Union Territory for Zomis as adopted by the Supreme Council of ZNC on 4th December 1983. Grassroot campaign had began from September 1983 onwards. 

By July 1984, 60 ZNC Block Offices were established in the District in almost all the villages in Thanlon Sub-Division, Singngat, Parbung, Sajiktampak, Ziontlang, Chalva(Sadar Hills) etc[3].

A special congress was convened at Kangkap Village on 24-25th January 1985 where important resolutions were adopted. It once again resolved to demand for the union Territory and resolved to send deputations to Delhi. ZNC Annual Congress at Lamka and Mata Mualtam on 18-20th February 1986 also demanded for the same and shouted slogan. Of all the ZNC Assemblies, the congress of 1987 at Lamka was the biggest.

There were roughly 5000 people drawn from all areas of Manipur and neighbouring States. 

On 18th November 1984 a historic long march/procession (264kms. Long) of 252 volunteers was taken out by ZNC/ZRV from Tipaimukh via Thanlon to Deputy Commissioner's Office at Tuibuang, Headquarters of Churachandpur(Lamka) District. They reach Lamka Public Ground on 27th November 1984. A memorandum was submitted requesting the immediate implementation of their earlier demands.

ZNC/ZRV have a flag with a green background. The green colour symbolises the unripe, underdeveloped, untapped natural resourcesof Zoland. Three stars placed in a corner represent the three countries namely India, Myanmar and Bangladesh in which Zo ethnic people live, divided.

It also may mean the Trinitarian aspect of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Christian Faith that the Zo Re-Unification movement may be strengthened and guided by the Goadhead.

The red (small patch) represents the possibility of sacrificing one's life for the creation of Zoland, The much dreamt-land of the Zomis.
