Alinery Lalngilneii Lianhlawng hailed from a tribal chief lineage in Sangau, a village town in Mizoram, India. Her grandfather was the last chief of her community which made her late father the last heir to the chieftainship. Even if the ruling of the tribal chiefs was abolished, he continued sowing inside her daughter a seed of innate strong responsibilities for her community’s development. Alinery grew up listening to all the stories and dreams her father visioned for his people. All these stories were not in vain: Alinery succeeded in bringing positive changes to her community and the people living around her. She excelled in her studies receiving international scholarships for her higher studies, conferences, and academic events. 

Every achievement she made, she used each one of them to inspire and pave ways for those children and young people who emerge from the same background with improper and limited resources. She has collaborated with different people and organizations to build online and offline libraries. She was invited to present papers and as speaker in many programs and events such as TEDx Talks, Asia Pacific Youth Exchange, International Development Forum, Tokyo, Japan; Harvard University, and World Literacy Summit at Oxford University to name a few. 

In memory of her father, who passed away in 2015, she founded  ‘Rochun: Pay It Forward’, where Rochun means ‘legacy’ in Mizo language, the legacy her father passed down to her and the future generations. It started off as a library project under Wedu construction project and now expanded into many schools within and outside of Mizoram state in India. She did not aim to provide people with material possessions and money, but to grant resources, knowledge, and directions to help the young people become change makers on this planet. Through this organization, she has been involved in pioneering projects to bring life changing platforms to Mizo young people.

Educational Qualification: Alinery earned a full scholarship to study Environmental Science and Development Studies as a minor subject in Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh, an international university and the first liberal arts institution in South-East Asia. After winning the ‘International Female Leaders’ scholarship, she finished her MBA at the University of Sussex, United Kingdom.
