ITANAGAR- Raksha Bandhan was celebrated at Lok Bhavan in Itanagar on Thursday, with students of Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, Chimpu, tying Rakhis to Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen KT Parnaik (Retd.).
The central message from the Governor was that Raksha Bandhan extends beyond the traditional brother-sister relationship and serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility of citizens to protect and nurture the values that bind society together.
Interacting with the students, Parnaik said the festival inspires people to uphold compassion, harmony, respect for women and responsibility towards one another. He described the Rakhi as a pledge to stand by each other in times of need and contribute towards building a caring and inclusive society.
