ITANAGAR- Chief Minister Pema Khandu today inaugurated the newly constructed state-of-the-art office building of the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) in Itanagar. The ceremony was attended by Lok Sabha MP Tapir Gao, local MLA Techi Kaso, Itanagar Mayor, Chief Secretary, APPSC Chairperson Prof. (Dr.) Pradip Lingfa, commission members, and senior officials from PWD.
Congratulating the Commission, Khandu expressed satisfaction with the modern design and quality of construction, particularly highlighting its disabled-friendly (PWD-friendly) facilities.
The new complex features 18 examination halls with seating for over 1,600 candidates, multiple interview rooms, office chambers, and other essential facilities aimed at strengthening the functioning of the Commission.
Lauding the Commission’s performance, Khandu praised the successful conduct of the recent APPSCCE examinations and the declaration of results within 72 hours, which recommended 140 candidates for recruitment to various state civil service posts. He remarked that this achievement has restored confidence among the youth, especially after the controversies that had previously hampered the Commission’s credibility.
“Despite challenges, the new Commission has completely overhauled itself and has regained the trust of our educated youth,” Khandu said.
