This article is about a public service. For information about the congregation see Mita Congregation; for its founder, see Juanita García Peraza.
The basic meaning of "mita" was mandatory public service by society. During the Inca Empire, public service was required in public works projects such as the building of roads, and military service. The Spanish also utilized the same form labor system in supplying the needed work force for the silver mines, which was the basis of their economy in this time period.
Mita is also a neighborhood in Tokyo, home of Keio University.
Mita was also a copier company, now a division of Kyocera.
