The Indian Army has taken a notable step toward empowering the youth of Arunachal Pradesh by establishing a Traditional Handicraft Skill Centre at the Community Centre in Bordumsa, located in the Changlang district. The centre was officially inaugurated today, marking a milestone in inclusivity, cultural preservation, and socio-economic growth in the region.
This scheme, spearheaded by the Indian Army, focuses on equipping specially-abled youth with essential skills, helping them to achieve self-reliance while safeguarding the state’s rich cultural heritage. The skill centre offers training in various traditional crafts, such as bamboo work, weaving, wood carving, and embroidery, all deeply ingrained in the culture of Arunachal Pradesh.
According to officials, this measure has the potential to generate sustainable livelihoods by combining heritage preservation with economic empowerment. "This initiative is not just about skill development but also about creating opportunities that echo the vibrancy and stability of our culture," a local leader remarked during the event.
The inauguration ceremony saw enthusiastic participation from local leaders, youth, and community coordinators. They expressed sincere appreciation to the Indian Army and the local community for their collaborative efforts in establishing the centre.
The Traditional Handicraft Skill Centre is anticipated to serve as a symbol of hope and inspiration in the region. It emphasizes the Indian Army's promise to community welfare and its commitment to uplifting marginalized sections of society through skill development initiatives.
This scheme echoes a vision of progress where cultural preservation and economic development go hand in hand, paving the way for a more inclusive and prosperous Arunachal Pradesh. (PR)
