ITANAGAR, Mar 17: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) has expressed serious concern over news of exchanges of fire between security forces and NSCN (IM) insurgent at Soha village under Tirap district. Understanding the magnitude of situation, AAPSU President Kamta Lapang has written to union home minister questioning the silence maintained by central government over the whole issue.
“This is not the first instance as intermittent turf wars between both the factions
continues unabated in Changlang, Tirap and Longding districts, declared disturbed
under Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958. The ceasefire area was never extended
beyond Nagaland since the Govt of India began talks with the NSCN decade ago to find
a lasting solution to the Naga issue. Reports of heinous crimes including extortion,
torture of local denizens, kidnapping and murder and intermittent turf wars for area
dominance by both NSNC (IM) and Khaplang factions are reported very often. Many well-
During a visit to state the then home minister P Chidambaram while replying to the questions of press persons had stated that ‘‘the security forces would take strict action against the insurgents. It was unfortunate that they (NSCN factions) were out to kill each other (Referring to turf wars). But this cannot be allowed in Arunachal territory".
AAPSU stated that despite such statement, the people of Tirap, Changlang and Longding are suffering at the hand of NSCN. “Does it not tantamount to neglecting attitude towards the Arunachalees when their sufferings continue for none of their fault while Gol continues to hold peace talks with NSCN groups? What is meaning of such tall claims when the Centre fails to realize the agonies of the locals?” union questioned.
However, AAPSU appreciated the special package announced by union home minister for police recruitment, renovation and infrastructure building of new police stations in Tirap and Changlang districts besides creation of Arunachal Scout by the Centre to recruit the Arunachalee youths. The people, political parties, including the ruling Congress and the civil society have umpteen times made it clear that Arunachal welcomes Naga peace talks but would neither compromise with its territorial integrity nor tolerate continued violence against the innocent tribal’s of the state by the Naga insurgents. How long New Delhi wants to test the patience and tolerance of the patriotic Arunachalees, the AAPSU questioned.
Moreover, it was New Delhi on whose instant the Chakma and Hajong refugees were
given voting right though there is no Constitutional provision for allowing settlement
of any non-

How long do they wait for CM Talent Award ?
Amar Sangno
ITANAGAR, Mar 17: Prem Taku at his 16, does not know how long he has to wait for a laptop computer (he has been dreaming of it since school days) along with an amount of Rs 10,000 as he was supposed to get it from the Arunachal Pradesh Govt under Chief Minister Talent Award scheme meant for meritorious students of class X and XII.
This scheme was initiated by Chief Minister Nabam Tuki and announced during budget
session -
For many meritorious students and their parents to get laptop computer and cash award under so called CM Talent Award Scheme has more or less become a hollow promise, since they are yet to get it even after years passed. Apparently delayed in distributing laptop computers has made students and parents weariness about the scheme. “My excitement for getting a laptop computer which my family could not afford has gone down” rued a student who got Grade A in all subjects in class X.
However, according to Secretary Planning Ankur Garg, the inordinate delay in distribution of cash award was due to rejection of many applications which have failed to follow the criteria such as bank account and other relevant documents sought in application.
Secretary further disclosed that 58.1 lakhs rupees had already been released for
the total applicants of 740 (both class X and XII) across the state. But, he said,
out of 740 applicants, 159 were returned to respective deputy commissioner for fulfilling
the required criteria. And for the year 2012-
Garg further added that tender process for procurement of laptop computer have been completed, however due to legal challenge by some bidder the matter has been send to advocate general for his legal opinion. He admitted that it may take some time to distribute but assured it would safely reach those students.
AAPSU women wing conducts rally against crimes at Tezu
ITANAGAR, Mar 17: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) headed by Aman Tayeng, President, W/Wings, AAPSU has conducted a peace rally at Tezu on March 12 to send a strong message against growing numbers of crimes such as rape, murder, kidnapping, extortion, drugs smuggling etc.

the region in order to restore a sense of security to the commoner. Lack of security
and law and order in the Lohit district lead to a new height of crimes and atrocities
against the humanity and among them the women and child are targeted by the anti-
Strict checking on ILP at every check gates, increasing female police personnel and regular patrolling at sensitive place in the Lohit district were also important demands of the union.
The AAPSU team submitted a memorandum to the Superintendent of Police (SP) and Additional Dy. Commisioner (ADC), Lohit requesting them to speed up the investigation and immediate arrest of culprits those who involved in the rape case of Chowkam. Punishment should be awarded to the culprits.

Gypsy in the midst of intrusive modernisation & changing trends
Mingkeng Osik
“Student life is a golden life” but is it? As these days every now and then all one can think about is competing, succeeding, struggling to achieve. And there upon come diversified distractions, illusions, and mind manipulating perpetual annexations of worldly things moreover pressure from every nook and directions.
In this 21st century, success means everything furthermore what the scenario stands at the moment. Everywhere there is a rush for something significant, with no time in the hands to even look properly into a mirror. All they say is it depends upon how you work hard and study today but has any parent or anyone tried to take a glimpse about how hard it is to be on the other side of it.
In Itanagar itself, numerous Students arrive with big dreams and timid aptitude to pursue education along with others, while some attain their goals while others not. Now, nothing can be yours and you cannot obtain anything that easily, likewise earlier during NEFA where our fathers and uncles at their age were forced to do Government jobs and elegantly pressurise to absorb administration and responsibilities in every sector for refurnishing the society, to take Arunachal in its zenith.
With the coming of new era and advent of modernisation every single thing that comes under basic amenities like houses to live, & adequate jobs, etc are hard to find in every aspect and field, especially for students who come to not only in Itanagar but in other cities also with a hope to absorb, gain, relieve here or to engaged himself or herself and to get sustained, most probably.
In initial period of your career, and hereby due to excessive students in every institution everyone don’t get a hostel room but you need a place to stay than the ultimate option for one is to find an room or a rent house, and as far as for here no one can even dream of acquiring one adequate room. This all can be also said due to lack of available rent houses, growing population, limited appropriate land, competitive juncture in Arunachal capital etc which is a matter of concern for the state government. Those who don’t have relatives in cities like Itanagar do always becomes the victim for finding rent houses. Today, we are confronting with this grudge, what the next generation will?.
One cannot explain how it feels to be a student. Every now and then all you get is pressure from the family to fulfil their dream, pressure within ourselves as everyone wants to be someone standing as a mirror in front of the society so that the people will yearn to be like you. But this intrusive modernisation and sabotage living standards among the student communities sometimes have deliberately eluded the picture of enthusiasm from them. Camouflage dressing trends, disco, bars, imbibing alcohol, reckless driving, living in the world of illusions etc that has what infiltrated the mindset of most of the students, turning them to be the same. These are possibilities and happenings that influence the student, youths and can have a contrary result which might has dreadful consequences.
Literally, now in Arunachal the most diverging and susceptible factor that distracts the minds mostly among student bodies from going to the main conversion of attaining their goal is indulging and acting in Union & organisations. In Arunachal, most of the time it is observed that in a month numerous new Unions and students Organisations are formed, however most of them are just for name sake and to acquire and imbibe money in the name of Union. This manoeuvre of getting easy money without wasting a sweat is being engulfing every person and student in particular, and the interesting part is they see it as a way to end all miseries but fail to analyse where it will take you. Sometimes some of them came out succeeding from this game of politics but most of them remain jaded. These things of student politics should be concealed and put to halt in any circumstances by the state and the people residing here, for tomorrow it’s going to be worse than ever. No one gets benefit out of it except the pseudo politicians who use the mere students by beguiling and luring them for their own self motive.
The future stands if the foundations are strong today; there are hundreds of poor students still who cannot even afford to buy books though they may be talented or bright. Many may have perished like this from time immemorial, how it can be negotiated? Schemes, projects, assumptions are made for upliftment in the education sector, but can be seen only in papers as for real nothing has changed. The representatives to whom we have elected to represent us do blarney talk every time during elections and they goes unchecked, not concern about the inconvenience.
The GOAP should look upon such matters, with proper vision and perception. It should be inculcated that In comparison to other Indian states Arunachalee students have immense sense of knowledge in copious, if the government can paved a good way for one, they will create history for Arunachal. As we can see this is the second generation of our tribal’s in Arunachal who have accepted education and got learned in comparison to those other Indian states where education has already been thrived before 1947 yet still our students can broadly participate in country’s apex competitive examinations like UPSC, IPS, and ICS etc and have achieved success many a times.

Refrain from using communal words
Dear Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily I would like to share a view to the fellow citizen of Arunachal; especially to the community based students' union and other organization of the state. As per recent trends, while going through the contain of some local dailies it has been observed that, any tribe or community based organization frequently used a word "DOMINATED AREA" whenever they call any bandh and organize awareness tour in their respective areas. I am neither well versed in English Language nor going to interpret the exact usage of the word & its implication. However, what I feel and inner conscience says that, better we can adopt a word "INHABITED AREA" instead of dominated area, which has much positive approach than the former.
Once, I happened to be a delegate of a students' union conference of our own community
and therein the same matter (issue) I moved in the miscellaneous resolution session
for its further correction along with a senior student from Basar for the henceforth
usage of the liberal word "INHABITED AREA" in all Union Official purposes. But to
my utter surprise, the present incumbent of our students' Union has forgotten the
resolution adopted and still deviates from the noble word. Infact, I failed to understand
this new style of writing -
If I am not wrong, the word "DOMINATED AREA" better sounds in the context of religious
fundamentalist group but not in the tribal inhabited area where mutual co-
As a matter of fact, even the state and National Census Survey Board of India carries majority survey of any community of a particular region but not their dominated survey. It is that we, coined new things within the system. We need to think and act for the congenial atmosphere among the beautiful tribes of the state and let the glory of the Arunachal be sung by all.

Lastly, I would like to appeal every Arunachalee to help District Administra¬tion and also request the respected Political leaders not to pressure or interfere District Administration while investigation, let them work smoothly as per law framed.

Frame marriage law
Dear Editor,
Permit me to draw the attention of Chief Minister of A.P, and Parliament Secretary Legal Jaw and Justice, Govt of Arunachal Pradesh through the columns of your esteemed daily for the need of marriage Certificate in our State. In Arunachal Pradesh still there are no rules and regulation for the issuing of Marriage Certificate whereas all the other states have adopted marriage rule long time ago. In our constitution this has already been provided under the section V and VI of Marriage Act, 1954. Marriage Certificate is useful for both Husband and wife as an evidence and proof of their married life
Therefore, I would like to appeal the Govt, of Arunachal Pradesh, Women, Arunachal Commission, Arunachal Women Welfare Society, leaders, NGOs, Organizations, Media Persons, and Student Unions’ to support and ensure the legal Marriage Certificate system be practiced in the State.

in parliaments is concerned. The global average of women in parliaments is now at
