ITANAGAR, Nov 27: Highly impressed by the performance of the Arunachalee weightlifters
at the on-
Addressing the inaugural function of the 48th Men and 24th Women Junior National Weightlifting Championship here today, Yadav said he was convinced of the huge potential of the state in terms of weightlifting development in particular.
Echoing his president Birendra Kumar Baishya, who said Arunachal would produce Olympian in weightlifting within 2016, Yadav opined that the state could make a big stride in sports sector if the players are groomed properly.
He was also overwhelmed at the number of audience in the on-
“In fact the people of Arunachal Pradesh has turned the National Weightlifting Championship into ‘IPL’, he said in lighter vein while making comparison between the two sports in terms of popularity. “There are so many sports other than the so called ‘rich men’s’ sports like cricket, lawn tennis, golf etc. to choose from, Yadav said while adding that IWF will extend support to its state body so that players coming from rural areas and economically poor background could take up less expensive weightlifting.
In the meantime, Yadav warned all the weightlifters to abstain from the use of all banned substances saying that if someone is found guilty of doping, IWF would not let him/her go unpunished.
Meanwhile, Yadav heaped praise on Organizing Committee for conducting the event smoothly.
“This is one of the best organized events ever,” he opined saying that organizing a National event is not an easy task.
Earlier, chief guest of the function PWD Minister Chowna Mein gave importance on organizing such event regularly in the state which not only motivate upcoming sportspersons take up sports seriously but also help build national integrity.
“This is just a beginning,” he said while conveying the message of Chief Minister Nabam Tuki’s commitment to help organize such big event in the state in future too.
Later, he declared the Men and Women (Junior) category of the event open.
Arunachal Weightlifting Association (AWA) president Abraham K Techi thanked the IWF for reposing faith on his association to shoulder the task. He also thanked the State Govt. led by Nabam Tuki without whose help the event could not have been conducted so smoothly.
General Secretary (AWA) Daniel Teli also spoke on the occasion.

Apparently, the proliferation of GC's is not because of salubrious economy or diligent

ITANAGAR, Nov 27: The Papum Pare district under which state capital Itanagar comes is often regarded as the most developed by rest of the state. Majority of Arunachalees envy Papum Pare district with the belief that it gets maximum attention being near to state capital.
However the story is quite different. There are many villages in Papum Pare district
which do not have road and electricity connectivity till date just like many other
villages of Arunachal. One such area is Tarasso circle which is barely 2 hours journey
from state capital. Often it is in news for boundary skirmishes with neighbouring
state Assam. The village does not have proper road connectivity and most of the time
people have to use Assam road, which makes them vulnerable from harassment in the
hand of anti-
To reach Tarasso circle, one has to pass through many small rivers and during monsoon season life becomes tough for the villagers. The lone government secondary school, Tarasso, is struggling to survive. The girl’s hostel, teacher quarters and classrooms are in pathetic condition. There are no hostel facilities for boys which had forced some of them to construct small hut nearby school for living. If area like Tarasso which is hardly only hour drive away from state capital is in such pathetic condition, then what must be condition of villages at interior Arunachal?
Expedite construction of Civil Secretariat and the Legislative Assembly: Mein

Tuki while expressing satisfaction at the pace of construction of the Secretariat bulding has, however, pointed out the slow pace of the construction of other important buildings of the State Legislative Assembly. Mein and Thongdok, during their spot visit to both the sites, nodded in agreement with the Chief Minister’s observations. They expressed satisfaction on the progress and quality of work of the state Secretariat and directed the site engineers to expedite the work to achieve the completion date without fail.

In his address to the riders, Pema Khandu, who is also the Chief Patron of this ride, expressed his happiness over the initiatives taken by the ABC for organizing the rally. “Such rally will definitely act as a catalyst in furthering the traditional relationship between the people of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh” said Pema.
The people of Arunachal Pradesh are deeply grateful to the Government of Bhutan for extending valuable assistance during the search of Late Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu’s chopper, the young minister said as he requested the ABC members to extend their heartfelt gratitude to His Majesty the King of Bhutan for all the support on behalf of the people of the State.
While handing over AP Tourism brochures to the riders, Pema said he was hopeful that the rally will popularize adventure tourism and will promote the immense tourism potential of the State to the outside world.
“Arunachal Pradesh is a treasure house for lovers of adventure tourism and your humble effort through this rally will contribute positively in providing a window to it” hoped Pema.

Departmental Engineers alongwith local ASM Nabam Radhe and others present on the site showed him around.

Renewal energy and scope
Taking Charge: Case studies of decentralised renewable energy projects in India in 2010 released by Greenpeace asserts the fact that renewable energy holds the key to India’s energy future.
The report is a documentation of 10 successful case studies from across the country on how communities, civil society and individuals have used decentralised renewable energy to energise and empower their lives.
The report revolves around the social empowerment brought about by successful uptake of decentralised renewable energy by communities, individuals and civil society. While the report also provides details of how this empowerment was brought about, a more precise and concise form gives the technical details of the case studies.
Taking Charge is about stories of communities, which have adopted renewable energy across regions. In Bihar, Husk Power Systems provides electricity to over 100,000 people using rice husk, which was essentially a waste product in the villages. In Tamil Nadu, Odanthurai panchayat has invested in wind turbines to provide better energy and public services for its citizens.
Each of these renewable energy projects has worked because they are tailored to fit the local needs and conditions.
The report is a reference that India has the opportunity to build its future energy
infrastructure in a way that provides for the needs of the energy-
Renewable energy has replaced mainstream traditional large scale energy sources in many parts of the country. Policy makers can start working on this seriously and come up with a comprehensive and empowering programme to tap renewable energy.
Don’t ignore the vital link
Dear Editor,
Recently, I happened to cross the suspension Bridge at Chandernagar Police Colony, Itanagar.
The aforesaid bridge is very significant not only for the residents of both banks of the river but also for other visitors. It is lying in poor condition. Many wooden planks are worn out or lying loose. And there are many big gaps in the floor.
Hundreds of pedestrians including children use the bridge for their various purposes every day. So, the upkeep of the vital link cannot be ignored.
In the interest of safety of the users, I request the authorities concerned to arrange repair of the Hanging Bridge at the earliest possible.

Don't compromise
Dear Editor,
Does the anonymity of living a luxurious life come at a price of one's pride? Or is it merely a convenient excuse to carry on living?
Well, we have to feed our children and family, please our friends and satisfy ourselves. We must not worry about people getting into corruption, bribery, cheating, fraud etc. If years of upbringing cannot come to use now, it never will. Because life is all about learning and living off what’s learned.
It is important to succeed in one's own eyes than to live up to someone's expectations.
Compromises are also a part of life, but they make us cross a line that starts to
disappear the first time we cross it, until one day it disappears altogether. Then
wrong becomes right and lies seem like the truth; everything becomes just a matter
of interpretation because truth loses its best quality -
We take life so seriously. But at the end the Crorepati gets buried next to the street sweeper. We all end up as dust. Connecting with the end is a brilliant practice to keep ourselves focused on what’s most important. Before it’s too late. Our Arunachal needs more light.
Yours

Hindi is not the national language of India
Dear Editor,
Of late I have been following the Hindi tug of war between many good writers. I write this in response to the letter “We allowed them” by Gumpi dated Nov 25. The critic is definitely true to the extend when he/she says ‘It is our demerit that we allow others to swallow our own native languages’.
But I totally decline to accept Hindi being the national language of India.
Schedule VIII (Article 343 to Article 351) of the Indian constitution is the one that deals with the provision of language. Article 343 of the constitution clearly specifies that Hindi in Devanagari script is the ‘official language’ of India. Later on English was added as official language under the Official Language Act, 1963, but nowhere is it mentioned as the ‘National language’. In fact, there is no concept of National language in India and hopefully what the writer intended was the ‘official language’.
With respect, this is a reckless mix up – and of course the writer stands corrected.
I assert Hindi is not the national language of India.
Yours,
