Arunachal CM Pema Khandu Marks 25th Foundation Day of IFCSAP; Praises its Contribution

ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has praised the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP) as it prepares to mark its 25th Foundation Day on December 28 at IG Park, Itanagar.

In a message of congratulations, Khandu commended IFCSAP for its relentless dedication to preserving the cultural heritage, traditions, and faiths of the state’s indigenous communities. He acknowledged the significant role the organization has played in safeguarding the diverse cultural practices of Arunachal Pradesh’s tribal groups, despite modern challenges.

The Chief Minister expressed his best wishes for a successful silver jubilee celebration and applauded IFCSAP’s invaluable contribution to maintaining the state’s rich cultural identity.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu has reaffirmed his call for the preservation of Arunachal Pradesh's unique indigenous culture, traditions, and languages to prevent their loss due to modernization and development.

Meanwhile, Khandu cited several examples of Indigenous cultures and languages that have completely disappeared across the world while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the newly constructed Arunachal Vikas Parishad (AVP) Bhavan near Bank Tinali on December 13.

Expressing gratitude to the non-profit organization for working at the grassroots level in the preservation of indigenous cultural heritage in the state, Khandu paid rich tributes to its founders—Golgi Bote, late Talum Rukbo, Jatan Pulu, and late Dwarikacharya, the founding president, general secretary, and organizing secretary, respectively—in the year 1993.
