Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein has emphasised that empowering the youth with knowledge, opportunity, and a clear vision is vital for building a ‘Shashakt’ and ‘Viksit Arunachal’.
Speaking at the zonal final of the second edition of the ‘Battle of Minds’ quiz competition here Saturday evening, the deputy chief minister emphasised the government’s unwavering commitment to nurturing a skilled, confident, and intellectually vibrant young generation.
Organized by the state Youth Affairs department, the event saw enthusiastic participation from 343 school teams, up from just 53 in the first edition, reflecting the rising intellectual curiosity and competitive spirit among students.
Commending the department for curating such an impactful platform, Mein said the initiative is not only about quizzing but also about instilling leadership qualities, collaborative learning, and academic excellence.
“Today’s quizzers are tomorrow’s leaders. I encourage each of you to dream big, stay disciplined, and pursue your goals with clarity and determination,” he told the students.
The quiz featured four rounds - general knowledge, know your region, audio-visual, and rapid fire, each designed to evaluate critical thinking, presence of mind, and depth of knowledge.
The Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya (VKV) team from Chimpu, near here, emerged as the winner of the zonal final and was felicitated by the deputy chief minsiter.
