YUPIA, 3 May: Veteran BJP leader and former adviser to the chief minister, Tai Tagak, inaugurated the central office of the Tai Welfare Society (TWS) at Tigdo here on Saturday.

He emphasised the importance of teamwork in ensuring the growth and development of the society.
He further highlighted that members of the Tai clan are spread across five districts – Kurung Kumey, Kra Daadi, Keyi Panyor, Papum Pare, and East Kameng- and urged the TWS “adopt a broader mindset by organising innovative and meaningful programmes.”
He stressed that activities should go beyond routine celebrations such as foundation days and felicitation of academic achievers.
For holistic development, Tagak advocated formation of dedicated sub-committees focusing on education, environmental protection, cultural preservation, entrepreneurial development, sports, and arts & culture.
TWS president Tai Nilli and its secretary Tai Lorak, along with other dignitaries, also addressed the gathering, sharing their vision and commitment towards strengthening the society and serving the community.
The newly inaugurated office is expected to serve as a central hub for planning, coordination, and implementation of welfare initiatives.
