Falam (in Burmese pronounced as /pʰəláɰ̃ mjo̰/) is a town in north-western Burma (Myanmar) near Burma's western border with the Indian state of Mizoram. The town was founded by Taisun tribe. The British arrived to Falam in 1892, and became an important base for British rule of the Chin Hills. After the formation of Chin State, it was the capital city until the administrative offices were moved to Hakha in 1974. It is still the regional governor of Falam District and of Falam Township. Falam is the headquarters of several important organizations, such as the Chin Baptist Convention (CBC). The population, as of 2014, is 9,092 (male:4266; female: 4826).[3]
The first school (National School of Ek Tu) established in Chin State is the No.1 Basic Education High School in Falam.
