ITANAGAR, 22 Jan: A team from the Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW), during its tour of Changlang district, visited the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) in Maganton under Raja Nagar on Wednesday.

She also shared that the marriageable age for both girls and boys is set to be 21 years. “Until then, every student must remain vigilant and focus on their studies to succeed in life,” Pakam said.
