ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein has said that the state, with 26 major tribes and over 100 sub-tribes, each with their own unique identity, is a perfect example of ‘Unity in Diversity'. Addressing the grand finale of Miss Arunachal 2023 at Namsai on Saturday, the deputy chief minister said that the theme for the beauty pageant, "Flaunting Diversity and Celebrating Unity," complements this sentiment perfectly. Chowna Mein emphasized that although the state is making rapid progress in connectivity, roads, railways, hydropower, and telecommunications under the double engine sarkaar, the promising talent of the state's youths is more exciting to witness. "To encourage and motivate these talents, the government is introducing the Achiever's Award with a budget of Rs 1 crore in the upcoming year," he added. The event was organized by the Miss Arunachal organisation under the aegis of the Arunachal Guild for Cultural Integration (AGCI) in collaboration with the state youth affairs department. The grand finale was filled with elegance and grandeur and saw the crowning of Miss Nadek Nabam as Miss Arunachal 2023, with Miss Rachel Aran as the first runner-up and Miss Ibi Kena as the second runner-up.
