The Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS) is a political organization representing indigenous ethnic groups in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. Founded in 1978, its goal is to advocate for the rights, autonomy, and cultural identity of hill people, who often face challenges related to land rights, development projects, and recognition. The PCJSS has played a significant role in historical movements for self-determination and peace in the region, seeking to ensure that the voices of indigenous communities are respected within the national framework.
