After the formation of Chin State, it was the capital city until the administrative offices were moved to Hakha.What year? It is still the regional capital of Falam District and of Falam Township. Falam is the headquarters of several important organizations. The Zomi Baptist Convention (ZBC) has its head office in Falam. People who travel through the city take the KalayFalam-Hakha Road. The first school that ever existed in Chin State is the No.1 Basic Education High School in Falam, and it recently celebrated its 100th year. Many of the buildings in Falam reflect the British occupation and its former status as the state capital.
