Sêrkâwn is a village within Lunglei Administrative Block, Mizoram, India. It is continuous with Lunglei within 1 km area. It is 107 km from the state capital Aizawl.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.onefivenine.com/india/villages/Lunglei/Lunglei/Serkawn )〕 The place chosen by British missionaries, it is the home of Christianity and formal education in southern Mizoram. The oldest schools and hospital in southern Mizoram were established there. It still is the centre of administration of Baptist Church of Mizoram. The British used to call it (as a literal translation) "Lemonvale". The name is due to abundant lemon trees native to the place during the British occupation. It remained the principal centre of learning and music during the 20th century. ==History==
There is no available record of habitation in Sêrkâwn before the advent of British missionaries. James Herbert Lorrain and Frederick William Savidge, sent by Baptist Missionary Society of London, arrived in Lunglei on 13 March 1903 and chose their settlement at Serkawn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mizostory.org/mizostory/Mizo_Story_9.html )〕 They started organising school, theology classes and medical services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mizobaptist.org/?page_id=56 )〕 The medical services were strengthened as a small dispensary in 1919 with the help new missionaries. The dispensary ultimately developed into the present day Christian Hospital Serkawn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.electives.net/hospital/6439 )〕 The present Baptist Higher Secondary School was established as an extension of Savidge's school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mizobaptist.org/?page_id=423 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bmsworldmission.org/about-us/our-heritage/asia/mizoram )〕 By the 1930s there were some twenty isolated families in the village, and became a village of educated people. Between 1932 and 1946 the school authority held annual festivals, famously known as "Sêrkâwn Concert". Major activities included music concert and plays.This was the first ever entertainment festival of any kind in Mizoram.
