ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) K T Parnaik on Monday presented the ‘Governor’s Medallion for Excellence’ to National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS) Director Col R S Jamwal, for leading two high-profile expeditions recently.

The institute located at Dirang in West Kameng district of the northeastern state recently concluded the Brahmaputra River rafting expedition and the Mount Kanchenjunga climb.

Speaking after conferring the award at Raj Bhavan here, Parnaik described the expeditions as landmark achievements that will bring recognition to the state in the field of adventure sports.

He said such feats can motivate a new generation of Arunachali youth ‘to dream bigger, push their limits, and make their mark in adventure history’.

The governor urged NIMAS to organise more activities involving local youth, stressing that the state’s mountaineers, including Everest summiteers, have immense untapped potential.
