Speaking on the sidelines of the event, JMS President Er. Tarik Mize recalled that the society had earlier organised similar felicitation programmes in Itanagar and Pasighat.
He said that after a gap of nearly five to six years, the society decided to jointly honour achievers from two academic sessions, making this year’s programme one of the largest recognition events organised by JMS.
Addressing the gathering, MLA Tapi Darang said achievement requires sustained dedication, consistency, discipline and perseverance.
“Whatever career you choose, remain committed to your goals with sincerity, hard work and determination. Success will certainly follow,” Darang said.
JMS General Secretary Nalo Jerang and Felicitation of Achievers Programme Chairperson Dr. Kaling Jerang said the objective of the event went beyond recognising meritorious students and successful candidates.
They said the programme was also intended to inspire other young people to value education, pursue higher learning, prepare for competitive examinations and strive for excellence in their chosen fields.
The felicitated achievers expressed gratitude to the Jering Matkir Society, donors and well-wishers for recognising their accomplishments and supporting them emotionally and financially in pursuing their goals.
Kanki Darang, Chairman of the Education and Counselling Committee, JMS, said the event served as both a celebration of excellence and a reaffirmation of the society’s commitment to nurturing future leaders and motivating the next generation to achieve greater academic and professional success.
The felicitation programme highlighted the role community organisations can play in recognising achievement and creating visible role models for younger students. By honouring success across academics, public service, engineering and sports, the event sought to reinforce the message that sustained effort and access to education can open multiple pathways for young people.
