The DC commended the keen interest shown by the trainee officers to understand and get firsthand experience of the impact of various development projects on the lives of the rural populace, on the expectations and aspirations of the people, and on the rich culture and heritage. He hoped that these grassroots experiences would help them understand and serve the people of India in the best possible way.

The DC also highlighted the major thrust areas of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, viz., the e-office initiative, health, education, sports sectors, to channelize the energy of the youth.

SP East Siang,Sumit Kumar Jha, also hoped that first-hand insights and interactions with SHGs, youth, PRIs, and grassroots people had sensitized them about society, culture, potential, and development needs in all their aspects. He also appreciated their thorough documentation of the field visits in every aspect of development.
