NAMSAI, Apr 30: Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein on Saturday attended the grand finale of Miss Arunachal 2023 which was held at the Poi Pee Mau ground in Namsai. The event is organized by Miss Arunachal organization, under the aegis of Arunachal Guild for Cultural Integration (AGCI) in collaboration with Department of Youth Affairs, Govt of Arunachal Pradesh. 
The grand finale saw the crowning of Nadek Nabam as Miss Arunachal 2023, with Rachel Aran as the first runner up and Ibi Kena as the second runner up. 
Addressing the event, Mein stated that Arunachal Pradesh, with its 26 major tribes and over 100 sub-tribes, each with their unique identity, is a perfect example of "Unity in Diversity," reflecting the motto of the organizer. The theme for the Miss Arunachal Pageant, "Flaunting Diversity and Celebrating Unity," complements this sentiment perfectly, he said.
Mein also emphasized that although the state is making rapid progress in connectivity, roads, railways, hydro-power, and telecommunications under the "double engine sarkaar", the promising talent of Arunachal's youths is more exciting to witness. Furthermore, to encourage and motivate these talents, the government is introducing the Achiever's Award with a budget of Rs 1 Crore in the upcoming year, he said.
In the event, Chairman, Green Gold Integrated Farm, Likha Maaj, MLAs Mutchu Mithi, Nyato Rigia, Jummum Ete Deori, among others  were also present.
