The ninth issue of a Chin Magazine for the academic year 2007-08 will be published on August. The effort comes from Chin students from universities in Rangoon , the former capital of Burma .

"The main objective of publishing this magazine is creating awareness on Chin culture and nationalism. This time we will extensively include the issue of a common language for Chin state," Yang Lian Mang, editor-in charge of the Chin magazine said.

Former writers of the previous Chin magazine, including a well known artist Salai Moe Yin Tea have also contributed various articles for this year's magazine.

This year's Chin magazine will be the latest publication of Chin university students in Rangoon after the annual publication was halted after the 1988 pro-democracy uprising in Burma .

However, because of limited finance, the print run of the Chin magazine is unlikely to reach the target number of copies.

"Actually we planed to print more than 2000 copies but the money we received as donation is still limited. Therefore, the number of copies to be printed might not be what we expected," Salai Tang Lian Sian Pau, secretary of Chin students (Universities - Rangoon ).

It is also learnt that the Central Chin Culture and Literature Committee made up of Chin university students across Burma has pledged to publish this year's CCLC magazine.
