For the students, it was not only a competition but also an opportunity to engage with fundamental constitutional issues and to hear firsthand reflections on the evolution of democracy in Arunachal.<\/p>\n With the success of the event at DKGC, the APLA@50 Outreach Connect continues to build momentum, reaffirming the legacy of 50 years of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly and its role in shaping the democratic aspirations of the state.(Speaker’s PR Cell)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TAWANG, 2 Sep: As part of the golden jubilee celebration of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly (APLA), Dorjee Khandu Government College (DKGC) here hosted a debate competition and a lecture series under the APLA@50 Outreach Connect initiative.
