The Aibawk cluster was later declared as the first one in Mizoram to be completed under the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM), launched in 2016.[7] The Aibawk Rurban cluster will be developed over 522 sq. km of track in 11 villages and cover 10,963 individuals,[8] implementing all 48 scheduled projects within the program.
