Itanagar, Dec 31: IPR Minister Bamang Felix today launched the e-calendar 2021 of the Department of Information & Public Relations at his office chamber in Arunachal Pradesh State Legislative Assembly.
Felix, while congratulating team IPR for stepping up and coming out with the digital version, said "The main idea behind the digital calendar is that it is eco-friendly, unlike its physical form, that gets thrown away after the year ends." He commended the efforts undertaken and stated that this is the digital era and hence, changing with times is a must.
He however, mentioned that the biggest challenge now is “to create acceptance of the e-calendar amongst the public”. Suggesting few changes like mentioning details of the listed holidays in the e-calendar, Felix said it should serve as a window to Arunachal’s biodiversity and be a tool in enhancing tourism.
The e-calendar lists out all the local, national and restricted holidays and has an inbuilt Diary in it. The Diary, like the annual diary that the department published in the past, mentions the Contact numbers of all the important offices of the State Government besides providing details of other important sectors. An option to create event in it has also been put in place.
This year, adhering to the Central and State Government’s instructions, the Department did not print and publish the annual Calendar and Diary.
The mobile app ‘DIPR ARUNACHAL’ is available on Google Playstore and will soon be available on Apple Store as well.
The event was attended by IPR Secretary, Nitu Glow, IPR Director and officers and officials from the department.
