ITANAGAR- In the 101th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Gyamar Nyokum, a first year Mechanical engineering student of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jote in Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh.

Nyokum informed PM Modi that he learned about Yuva Sangam through his institute and subsequently searched for information about it on the Internet. He travelled to Rajasthan through Yuva Sangam and discovered the rich culture of the state.
“It was my first time visiting a place outside of Arunachal Pradesh. I learned about the vibrant culture of Rajasthan, which I had never known before,” Nyokum shared with PM Modi. In response, PM Modi informed Nyokum that many soldiers posted at the Arunachal Pradesh border are from Rajasthan and suggested that Gyamar would feel happy when he meets them.
