As I conclude my Japan visit today, had a fruitful winding-up interaction with Dr. Atsushi Sunami, President of Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) and senior members at SPF Headquarters.
We discussed key takeaways and a future roadmap for deeper engagement with Japan across various sectors.
My sincere thanks to SPF for facilitating multiple meetings with policymakers, academia, journalists and business leaders all of which were immensely productive.
In line with the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and Japan’s leadership, we will continue to take forward the shared agenda through close collaboration with SPF and the Indian Embassy.

Modern, grand, and built against all odds, this landmark will stand for generations as a symbol of our state’s vision and capability.

The Arunachal Youth Parliament 2025 is set to take place on April 3-4 at DK Hall, Legislative Assembly, marking the grand conclusion of the “Year of Youth” initiative by the Department of Youth Affairs.
With a debate on dams, a panel discussion on APFRA, and a student parliament featuring 14 higher education institutions, the event will spotlight critical state issues like skill development, drug menace, environment, and culture.
I urge our youth to participate, listen, and contribute to these discussions. Your voice matters in shaping Arunachal’s future!

The road leading to the helipad near Borum Bridge has become a dumping ground, with piles of garbage lining the stretch, making the area not only dirty but also severely polluting the river.

So much has been said about the life and legacy of Ratan Tata, who sadly passed away last night at 86, that is impossible to distil into a tweet. He was a titan of business and a giant of a human being, an exemplary leader who displayed great vision and compassion towards his staff and his clients. It is rare for a businessman to make and leave the kind of impact Ratan Tata has. A towering figure has left us, and with him an era fades. Om Shanti. RIP.
