Editor, I would like to draw the attention of the state government and the general public towards a concerning disparity in our state: the exorbitant spending on ‘VIP culture’ versus the dilapidated condition of our educational institutions.

Editor, In the upcoming viva voce of Arunachal Engineering Service Examination-2025, AE civil, greater weightage should be given to the branch subject and branch questions should be asked in depth, as this is an engineering examination.

Editor, In the rugged, breathtaking terrain of the Mechukha valley, the village of Dorjeeling stands as a testament to both natural beauty and systemic abandonment. While official records and tourism brochures paint a picture of a developing paradise, the reality on the ground is a stark narrative of isolation. The recent dismantling of the primary
Editor, I fully agree with the concern raised regarding the urgent need to adopt a transparent mechanism in the issuance and evaluation of experience certificates.

Editor, In the upcoming viva voce of AESE-2025 (AE, civil), candidates are appearing for interviews on different dates, with some appearing earlier and others scheduled for the later dates.

Editor, The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has historically been the vanguard of our youths. However, a critical look at its current trajectory suggests an institution in decline, moving away from intellectual advocacy towards a culture of monetary influence. 1. The need for inclusive leadership There is a troubling contradiction in our student politics.
Editor, For nearly six decades, the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has been one of the most influential civic institutions in the state. Founded in 1967, it has functioned not only as a representative body of students but also as a moral force, questioning authority, mobilising youth opinion, and acting as a watchdog in

Editor, I, on behalf of all aspiring candidates for the upcoming Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026, earnestly request the concerned authority to kindly maintain a 3:1 ratio for shortlisting candidates for the said recruitment.

Editor, In the rugged hills and vibrant valleys of Arunachal Pradesh, the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has long stood as a beacon of hope and unity for the state’s youth.

Editor, The present selection process for assistant professors by the APPSC has become a matter of concern for many deserving candidates. Excessive weightage given to graduation and postgraduation marks creates inequality among aspirants coming from different universities with different marking schemes.

Editor, Rampant and poorly regulated earth-cutting in and around the capital towns of Naharlagun and Itanagar, particularly along the highway towards Sood Village, has quietly imposed a heavy cost on ordinary citizens. While such activities are often justified in the name of development, the absence of regulation, monitoring, and basic preventive measures has turned daily

Editor, It has become a tradition in our state and the country as whole to name government infrastructure which are built and developed by the taxpayers’ money after politicians. Is it fair?

Editor, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities and the general public to a startling contrast in infrastructure development that is unfolding right in our neighbourhood.
