ITANAGAR, Feb 25:

 

Governor PB Acharya and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have conveyed warm greetings to the people of the State on the auspicious occasion of Nyokum Yullo.

In his message, the Governor expressed hope that the celebration will further strengthen the rich and vibrant traditions of the Nyishi community.

The Governor further said that the traditional knowledge of ancestors should be respected and valued. The youngergenerations should take pride in it and festival is the time they learn the folk proverbs, folklores, folk songs and folk dances and the rituals from the priests to preserve their distinct socio-cultural identity. These are the essence of our identity and modernization and access to internet should not wean us away from our inheritance, he emphasized.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu in his message said, “Greetings on occasion of Nyokum Yullo! Ours is a distinct state with several tribes and communities residing side by side for ages and maintaining their own unique indigenous culture and traditions. Despite our varied diversity, we as Arunachalees are united and take pride in our indigenous cultural heritage. This cultural mosaic has to be maintained, preserved and propagated at all costs while keeping intact our unity in diversity. I believe the Nyokum Yullo celebrations would prove a major catalyst towards achieving this goal”.

“The festival would further the goal of achieving communal harmony and unity and would showcase the rich and varied traditional culture of the Nyishis, the largest community of the state” the message added further.  He prayed Almighty to bestow peace, happiness, good health, and prosperity to people of Arunachal and rest of the world.
