APU students visit NITI Aayog headquarters in New Delhi.

ITANAGAR, July 11: 

A 22-member student delegation from Arunachal Pradesh University (APU), Pasighat, scripted history on Friday by becoming the first university student delegation in the country to be officially hosted for a study visit at NITI Aayog, India's premier public policy think tank, during their educational tour to New Delhi.

The delegation was accompanied by faculty escort Ngurang Mana and staff member Jumkar Nada. 

During the visit, the students participated in an interactive session at the NITI Aayog headquarters, chaired by Dr Joram Aniya, Member of NITI Aayog.

The session was attended by Maj Gen K. Narayanan (AVSM), who welcomed the delegation, while Lt Col Jitendra Verma, Officer on Special Duty (OSD), moderated the programme and provided the students with an overview of NITI Aayog's role, structure and key policy initiatives.

In her concluding address, Dr Aniya encouraged the students to become active partners in implementing government welfare schemes after returning to their communities.

She highlighted that NITI Aayog's continuous mission is to improve the quality of life of every citizen through effective policymaking. 

While governments work tirelessly to formulate welfare programmes, she said, their success ultimately depends on active public participation and effective implementation at the grassroots level.

Dr Aniya urged the students to contribute to nation-building by creating awareness about government initiatives and ensuring that the benefits of development reach every section of society.
