ITANAGAR- Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein had convened a meeting with the members of Core Committee and Sub-Committee for recognition of unsung heroes in his official residence at Itanagar today.
In the meeting, DCM Chowna Mein asked the members of the sub-committee to start the work of data collection for identification of the unsung heroes of the State terming it as a noble job and urged the members to do it wholeheartedly as it will be an important document on the history of Arunachal Pradesh. He also urged the committee to work as a team seamlessly without giving any scope for criticism in future.
He informed the members of the house that Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), a captive body of Ministry of Education, Govt of India is planning to conduct a workshop cum seminar in the State in the month of January/February 2022 as a part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. He asked the Vice Chancellor, Rajiv Gandhi University, Prof Saket Kushwaha and Member Secretary of Core-Committee, Dani Salu to coordinate with the member secretary of ICHR.
The Committee also decides to propose the ICHR to set up a separate centre of ICHR in Arunachal Pradesh as the State doesn’t have any such centre.
