Kamjong (কামজং) is a district in eastern Manipur, India, bordering Myanmar. Its headquarters is Kamjong town. Created in 2016 from part of Ukhrul district, it is known for its forested hills, rural settlements and location along an international frontier.
The district is home largely to Tangkhul Naga communities, whose languages, customary institutions, festivals and village traditions shape local life. Agriculture, including rice cultivation, supports many households, alongside small trade and government employment. Churches and village community spaces are important gathering places. The landscape around the Chassad area and the wider hill countryside forms part of the district’s local identity.
Common civic concerns include reliable roads, transport between villages, electricity and mobile connectivity. Access to healthcare, schools and safe drinking water is especially important in remote settlements. Residents also care about livelihood opportunities for young people, forest and land management, and border-related security. Improving public services while respecting customary landholding and village institutions remains an important local priority.
