Itagar, January 23: Fifty out of 86 participants have made it to the second elimition round of the first ever Aruchal Got Talent (AGT) contest, scheduled to be held at Nikum Niya Hall in Nirjuli on January 25.

The talent hunt had earlier begun with 214 contenders in the ‘mega round’. It has featured a series of performances including singing, dancing, and beat boxing (imitating the sounds of a drum machine with one’s voice).

“There is abundance of talents in Aruchal Pradesh, but the state is uble to provide the platform for them,” said AGT chief advisor Gumjum Haider. Saying that the local talents of the state are of “intertiol level,” he urged the state government to support such events and come up with a policy to explore young hidden talents in areas other than games and sports. “The organizing team, led by Hillang Nima, is running from pillar to post in order to mage the talent show,” Haider said emphatically.
