Editor, With the APPSCCE round the corner, I would like to highlight the plight of the candidates who, in spite of getting high scores in GS papers, could not get enough marks in the optionals to qualify for the exam. It has come to notice that some optionals were given marks ‘liberally’ and some ‘stingily’,
Editor, I wish to place on record my appreciation for the present incumbency of the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) for adopting Appendix-II (Table 3B) of the University Grants Commission Regulations, 2018, as the basis for shortlisting candidates for interview to the post of assistant professor. This marks a welcome step towards greater transparency
Editor, Amidst the frequent forest fires and fire incidents that are being reported from various regions of the state, a concerning threat that is emerging in society is the problem of public roads.

Competitive examinations, especially those
Editor, I wish to place on record a note of profound gratitude, born out of years of perseverance, disappointment, hope, and finally, faith restored. After reaching the interview stage of the assistant engineer examination on three separate occasions, serving as a UDC under the CO Office, Lada, working as a junior engineer in the PWD,
Editor, It is time to confront an uncomfortable reality within the Arunachal secretariat. Behind the ceremonial speeches and declarations of progress during the Statehood Day lies a deep sense of injustice among those who have spent their entire careers upholding the administrative backbone of the state. Many assistant section officers in the Arunachal Pradesh Civil
Editor, I wish to draw the attention of the conscious citizens of Arunachal Pradesh towards an urgent societal need: a systematic, transparent, and fraud-proof crowdfunding platform for our fellow Arunachalees facing extreme medical and accidental emergencies.

Editor, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the difficulties faced by many aspiring candidates regarding the recent recruitment process for the post of assistant professor.

Editor, At the end of every month, salaries are dutifully credited into our accounts. Depending on rank and position, these figures range from Rs 30,000 to well over Rs 2 lakh, often supplemented by various perks and allowances. Yet, human desire is a bottomless pit. Who can truly satiate the endless appetite of modern consumerism?
Editor, I wish to place a humble and respectful appeal before the petitioner, advocate Habung Aape, concerning the ongoing petition that has resulted in the delay of the declaration of the APSSB CGL (UDC), 2025 results.

Editor, I, on behalf of the deprived aspirants for the post of assistant professor for many years finally would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the repeated injustice meted out to us by the recruitment agency by totally overseeing the UGC guidelines for awarding Academic Performance Index (API) marks to those
Editor, I wish to highlight the significance of the Assistant Engineer Selection Examination (AESE) 2025-26, which marks a decisive shift towards merit-based and technically sound recruitment in Arunachal Pradesh. The Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) deserves sincere appreciation for this long overdue and visionary reform. The most impactful change is the revamped marking pattern.
Editor, We would like to bring to the notice of the Upper Siang district planning officer, the deputy commissioner, and the state government that the DDUSY-2024 batch beneficiaries of Upper Siang district are yet to receive their sanctioned amounts.

Editor, I wish to draw attention to a serious concern regarding the recent Class 10 mathematics examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This year, it was widely observed that the basic mathematics paper was considerably more difficult than the standard mathematics paper. Ironically, the standard paper, which is meant for academically
Editor, Marriage has always been more than a union between two individuals. It is a bond between families, clans, and communities. Across cultures, the exchange of gifts during marriage has symbolised gratitude, respect, and celebration. In some traditions, the bride’s family offers gifts. In others, the groom’s family presents animals, food, ornaments, or wealth. Historically,

At the heart
Editor, Festivals like Holi and Diwali are celebrated joyously across India, transcending regional and religious boundaries. While deeply rooted in Hindu traditions, they have beautifully evolved into shared cultural phenomena. Today, they are widely embraced as vibrant celebrations of Indian identity, focusing on unity, light, and community, rather than strictly religious rituals. Similarly, the Mopin
Editor, Our chief minister, when recently questioned on the 80:20 job recruitment ratio, reminded us that “Arunachal is a part of India.” While no one disputes our state’s place in the union, this response carries a stinging implication: that protecting the livelihoods of indigenous youths is somehow at odds with being Indian. As a young
Editor, I wish to highlight a concern that many government employees quietly face every year with the coming of March. During this time, several unions and organisations approach government offices, seeking financial assistance.
