Arunachal Governor Parnaik Urges Students to Reject Drugs and Build Skills

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Governor K T Parnaik told students to ditch drugs and look past their textbooks. He spoke at the College Day celebration of Government College Doimukh on November 10. The state leader warned the crowd that substance abuse kills dreams. Students need to stay sharp and healthy.

Parnaik pushed for a shift in how students learn. He wants schools to favor creativity and innovation over simple test scores. Students should use Artificial Intelligence with care, build teamwork habits, and master digital tools. He wants graduates to think bigger than the classroom. He said, "Education should extend beyond examinations and focus on developing critical thinking, creativity, innovation and social responsibility."

The Governor tied these lessons to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Viksit Bharat 2047 plan. He told the students they will lead the country when it turns 100 years old. He asked them to stay honest, compassionate, and connected to the cultural roots of Arunachal Pradesh. Faculty members carry a heavy burden here. They must push service and character alongside academics.

He challenged the students to volunteer in anti-drug campaigns. They need to lead the fight for their own generation. The Governor thanked the college organization for putting the event together.
