Arunachal: VP Jagdeep Dhankhar Attends First Ever Joint Mega Nyokum Yullo Celebration At Kamle

ITANAGAR: Jagdeep Dhankhar, the Vice-President of India, today said, “Decades ago, the Government of India introduced the ‘Look East’ policy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi transformed that policy into ‘Act East’ because merely looking will not suffice; action is necessary. When we take action, we witness remarkable changes. Whether it is air travel, airports, railway connectivity, road connectivity, or even 4G network availability—these are all indicators of progress in Arunachal Pradesh.”

Addressing the gathering as Chief Guest at the First Ever Joint Mega Nyokum Yullo Celebration at Kamporijo Circle in Arunachal's Kamle district, Dhankhar said, “Arunachal Pradesh has the potential to generate 50,000 MW of power. Producing one megawatt requires an investment of Rs. 10 crore, which means there is an investment potential of Rs. 5 lakh crore in Arunachal Pradesh. Kiren Ji surely has some magic. He managed to convince the Prime Minister about the chance and urged all of you to seize this opportunity, cooperate, and preserve our culture.”

The Vice-President highlighted India’s cultural unity, saying, “There is no other country like India. Today, as you celebrate Nyokum Yullo, festivals like Holi, Baisakhi, Lohri, Bihu, Pongal, and Navanna will also be celebrated across the country. No matter where we are in India, our thoughts and traditions remain united.”

He further stated, “In a country of 140 crore people, with a Union Cabinet consisting of just over two dozen ministers, Kiren ji’s repeated inclusion is a testament to the continuous progress in Arunachal Pradesh, in all circumstances and under all conditions.”

Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minister of Minority Affairs, Rotom Tebin, MLA, 25-Raga, Tana Showren, President, Nyishi Elite Society, H.K. Shalla, President, Tani Supun Dukun, Guchi Sanjay, Chairman, 1st Ever Joint Mega Nyokum Yullo Celebration Committee, Boasimla, Rab Kara Dani, Assistant General Secretary, Central Nyokum Committee, and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.
