Dear Editor,
The Itanagar Buddhist Cultural Society congratulates all the successful candidate of recently completed Arunachal Public Service Commission combined examination.
We wish every success in their future life. We also appreciate the APPSC who have completed the whole exam in one single calendar year. This is first time in Arunachal Pradesh that the process of APPSCC examination is completed within the same calendar year and declared the result promptly. This seems to be fair exam and the deserving candidates have qualified for the post.
We congratulate all the APSC members, the Chairman and his teams of officers and officials involved in this exam process. We hope and pray that near future they will conduct the exam in same sprit so that the desirable candidate may get another chance before his/her age bar is completed, and request is also made for conduction of such examination in regular/yearly basis.
Yours,

Let us know the pattern
Dear Editor,
UPSC has announced the new scheme of examination for IAS 2011, based on the recommendation of Alagh committee reports. With the idea to introduce an aptitude test CSAT (civil service aptitude test) in place of the existing optional subject paper in the civil services preliminary exam, which was adopted in 1979 on the recommendation of the Kothari commission, since then, the pattern lasted for 41 years, with some minor change once in ten or fifteen years.
Now being APCS aspirants we are in dilemma whether the APPSCCE (Arunachal Pradesh public service combine competitive examination) prelims to be conducted in 2011 is going to follow the new pattern or existing old pattern. More over the free coaching for APPSCCE prelims 2011 is going on full swing, even on Sunday in DN College funded by UGC, based on existing old patterns under the chairmanship of free coaching centre Dr. M Q Khan.
It is my request to APPSC committee on behalf of APCS aspirants to announce the pattern for APPSCCE prelims 2011 at the earliest possible time, so that we the aspirant instead of wasting our precious time, energy and direction, can solely focus according to the pattern recommended.
Last but not the least we are very thankful to Dr M.Q Khan for his selfless devotion for helping us deal with various problems faced by the APCS aspirants.

What’s in a name
Dear Editor,
Since the last couple of days, it is seen that a few readers don't like me writing
as 'Vox populi' and want to see name etc. But does it really matter as much as the
substance of what I write? Do we know the person who invented the wheel in Samara,
that is in ancient Iraq? Do we know the person who struck upon fire when striking
two stones? What is important is the importance of the subject matter, what the write-
Do we know who wrote the Bible, Koran or Veda? Yet people follow what is written in them. Of course, I am no writer, but the point is that it is not necessary who is writing, what is important is are we a truly, really informed people.

Remember that public is not your servant
Dear Editor,
Heartiest congratulations to all the 51 candidates who have made through the finals of the APPSC exam 2010!
My sincere request to all those young achievers is that since you all are the custodians of Arunachal Pradesh, it is the moral responsibility of you all that the image of Arunachal Pradesh is kept high at all cost. As you all have strived hard enough to get this coveted post, like wise you need to toil and sweat more to restore and uphold the dignity of Arunachal Pradesh in the days to come.
Please don’t put your legs in the same shoes as that of the present generation bureaucrats
of Arunachal Pradesh who have literally done nothing to improve the socio-
If you stick to your principle of living with honour and dignity in public life then we can dream that the futures of our young ones are in safe hands. Please dont let yourself washed away with the emotions of family and community in particular and of course political pressure in general while discharging your duties. Remember our next generation is watching you keenly and they rely upon you for their bright future.
So lead an exemplary life in your own sphere of working space and always deliver true justice for the poor and the needy because ultimately you are selected for the very purpose of serving the public. Always remember that you are a public servant and public is not your servant.
I wish that you all reach the zenith of your career and thereby make this state of Arunachal Pradesh a paradise on earth where we all can live freely with equal opportunity and helping each other.
Yours,

Abide by the agreement
Dear Editor,
I would like to draw the kind attention of Rites company, Gurgoan and the concern authority of the state that the construction work of Jawaharlal Nehru Vidyalaya (JNV) at Gumto is going on at a very slow pace.
As per tender agreement between the construction agency and the RITES Company, the construction work was to be completed within 18 months. But it is surprising that after 4 years construction work is still going on.
Hence I appeal the company and the construction agency to complete all the construction work by 31st March 2011 and urge upon the concern authority to immediately shift JNV from present place at Doimukh to Gumto from the next academic session.
I further hope that Deputy Commissioner of Papum Pare would be able to implement MGNREGA, TFC, IAY, Hariyali, RKVY and other panchayat related schemes at the grass root level so that poor and needy are benefited.
Yours,
Nabam Vijay

On foot, Dibang Valley DA reaches remote Anelih and Italin
Anini, Dec 5: For landlocked Dibang Valley deprived of roads and other modes of communication, people are often left on their own. Most often than not, government schemes hardly reach them. Caught up in harsh conditions, they do not even care much or leave it for another time.

A series of meetings and interaction session were held at all the villages enabling the officials and Zila Parishad to know the about the grass root problem and basic infrastructure requirement of the villagers and schools.

NESO condemns atrocities on NE students
ITANAGAR, Dec 5: The North East Students Organisation (NESO) in its Executive meeting condemned the atrocities meted out to the North Eastern Students who are studying outside the Region. It said that despite assurances by the Prime Minister, the attacks on students of this region is going on unabated.

The NESO has resolved to reiterate its earlier charter of Demand submitted to the Prime Minister of India on June 2006 which includes Special Education commission for North Eastern Stats. It further called for an education policy relevant to the people of NE including rich cultural heritage, languages and history of this region in the main curriculum of NCERT textbooks.

An inspiring journey of determination of an average student
Taba Ajum
ITANAGAR, Dec 5: In Arunachal Pradesh if children passes Class X exam with 40% mark, parents get depressed thinking the kid has no future. It has become fashionable to judge future of children on the basis of marks attained in class X and XII. If similar yardstick were applied for students like Sarah Enung Borang, she definitely could have no future to dream off! Despite scoring 47% in class X, 51% in class XII and 45% in graduation (B.Sc), Sarah is on her way to become a circle officer after securing 23rd rank in APPSC exam 2010.
Being an orphan and currently working as peon in Tax and Excise department, suddenly world around her changed after the news of her cracking APPSC exam made headlines in all the major dailies of Arunachal.
On Sunday afternoon, this journalist caught with Sarah Enung Borang, whose raise to fame sounds like a fairy tale.
Dressed in traditional Adi attires, she landed up at my office and first thing she said to me was, “I am just back from attending Church service. If you don’t mind, let’s not talk about my past life. Enough has been said and written about my tragic past.”
Talking about her success, Sarah told, despite being orphan she always had high dream
and wanted to become an IAS officer since childhood. “All my life, I had studied
in government schools and then graduated from JNC, Pasighat. Because of economic
problem and family tension, I could not secure good marks during school and college
days,” tells Sarah. Because of her pre-
While most candidates who secured seat in APPSC exam are rejoicing, Sarah says she is not really enthusiastic about her achievement. “I think me clearing APPSC exam is not a big thing. I just hope my achievement can inspire women and other orphans to dream big in life. Social message which am sending through my achievement is more satisfying for me than clearing APPSC exam,” says Sarah.
Asked what people can expect from a young officer like her, Sarah says, “Coming from a humble background, I will surely work dedicatedly for poor and downtrodden section of society. Also I feel there is too much corruption in our system because of influence from mainland India. Our tribal people never knew about corruption earlier but they were taught by outsiders.” She also told that class system which is emerging in our state on the basis of wealth is very dangerous trend. “Money, cars and social status has become big thing in our state. Poor people like me are always looked down as if we have no right to live in this state,” Sarah added. Further she tells that till few days ago when she was just simple peon nobody cared for her. “Ever since news of me cracking APPSC exam became public, I have been inundated with congratulatory calls,” says Sarah.
On being asked how much this success means to her, she tells, “Finally, I feel am at peace with myself. Despite all the difficulties, I always wanted to achieve success and be role model. I have shed enough tears in life and went through much difficult time, now I guess better days are arriving for me.”
Story like that of Sarah still makes us believe that hard work and determination pays off in life. Her story should inspire many poor youths who are distraught with prevailing situation in Arunachal, where corruption and nepotism seem to be the way of getting jobs.
Also present team of APPSC lead by Chairman Rinchi Tashi and Secretary Huzar Lollen deserves accolades for conducting successful exam in record time. Their sincere conduct of exam has restored the faith of students in Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission. Hope other departments can learn something from commission and conduct open exams instead of opting for backdoor recruitment policy.

International Campaign to Stop Violence against Women
Ribbi Riba
Violence Against Women (VAW) and Girls is a universal reality but at the same time
it is invincible. It is the most widespread violation of Human Rights and has been
used to deprive women from their property rights, deny them their right to Health
and Education, to keep them out of decision making forums, to exploit their labour
and to degrade the dignity of women keeping them perennially in conditions of inequality
and injustice. It can include Physical, Sexual, Psychological and Economic abuse
and it cut across boundaries of Age, Race, Culture, Wealth and Region. Violence is
not always committed by strangers but people commonly known to us. It takes place
in the Home, on the Street, at the Work Place, Schools, in the Farms, Refugee Camps
during conflicts and Crises. It has many forms-
The general Low Status of Women and the entrenched nature of discriminatory structures have led to what is seen as a lifecycle of VAW. Even before birth women suffer from sex selective abortions, at infancy they may face female infanticide, as young children they will have to put up with incest and son preference, as adolescents they may be sexually abused or trafficked, as young they may suffer rape, sexual harassment as wives they may experience domestic violence, dowry related violence, marital rape or honour killings and as widows they may be deprived of property and dignity. The vulnerability at every stage makes VAW a terrible legacy. Each of these instances of Human Right’s violation has been protested against in several forms. One such movement is the Campaign to Stop VAW.
The international Campaign to Stop Violence Women is observed the world over from 25th of November to 10th of December every year. It was launched by the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute, USA, in 1991. In 1999, the United Nation General Assembly declared November 25 the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) and the white ribbon has become the symbol for the day. It marks the beginning of the fortnight campaign to Stop VAW and ends on December 10 which is the Human Rights Day.
In Arunachal Pradesh, people are becoming aware of an institution called the United Nations (UN) and quite interesting many of the people I have come across talks about using the UN mechanism to address the refugee issues, indigenous peoples rights but yet when it comes to women and women right this same people consider it as domestic issues. But we have to bear in mind that if the United Nations has passed United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Peoples Right (UNDRIP) it is the same United Nations that has also passed the resolution on Conventions on Elimination of All kinds of Discrimination of Women (CEDAW) involved in discussion of the issues relating to discrimination against women in political and civil life as well as economic, social and cultural life.
We too need to observe the VAW campaign as many in our state believes that VAW is only domestic violence but there are traditional practices that are repressive and violent to women. In Arunachal we are lucky not to have the dowry system as well as honor killings but our society is also infected by the myriad contour of VAW. Reports from the State Commission for Women, Press and other sources reaffirms the fact that VAW in Arunachal Pradesh has been on the rise. There are some social and cultural practices that are violent towards women and harmful to their health. For instance, child marriage a crime punishable under law is also prevalent in certain communities. Girl child are sold to strengthen matrimonial relations and in some cases due to abject poverty of parents. These children have been victims of abuse at a tender age and their lives are marred with memories of bitter experience for the rest of their lives. Incidence of maternity death is also high in these areas. In many community’s women are considered as tradable commodities. In times of marriages bridal price are paid in Mithuns. And women are subjected to verbal abuses.
In one of the tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, the tradition and customary practice of
polyandry where brothers can share wives is also common but not necessarily with
the consent of the women in question. Many a time women have been subjected to molestation
and harassments during family gatherings, festivals because man have the preset idea
that it is permissible to misbehave with sister-
The principles of Tribal customs and traditions have never been discriminatory towards women. Rather it had uphold the dignity and superiority of women in a way we see that in many of our religious affairs and festivals we mostly revered the goddesses to give us bountiful harvest and good life.
Thus religion and tradition should not be used to justify acts of violence.
