On Thursday, 6 August, an interactive mock parliament session and an awareness campaign on fundamental rights and duties were held at the Sainik School in NIGLOK, East Siang district. The event aimed to nurture civic responsibility, leadership, and democratic values among cadets.
The programme was organised by Let’s Speak Arunachal, an NGO based in Itanagar, under the leadership of founder Porsum Ori and secretary Tana Jiri. It attracted students from Class 9 to 12 for the mock parliament, and students from Class 6 to 8 for the rights and duties session.
During the mock parliament, cadets experienced parliamentary procedures, policy discussions, public speaking, and constructive debate. The rights and duties session encouraged younger students to understand constitutional responsibilities and become responsible citizens from an early age.
Participants displayed enthusiasm, confidence, and a keen understanding of democratic principles, underscoring the value of experiential learning in shaping future leaders. Certificates of appreciation were awarded to recognise outstanding participation and leadership. The event reaffirmed the shared commitment of Let’s Speak Arunachal and the Sainik School to empower youth, promote constitutional values, and strengthen democratic awareness, especially among students in remote border regions.
