Hockey Arunachal President Dr. Gumjum Haider Dedicates ‘Best Administrator’ Award to People of Arunachal Pradesh

The Annual North East Hockey Award Ceremony, held today at the Manipur Bhawan in Guwahati, celebrated outstanding contributors to hockey administration across the region. Among the honorees, Dr. Gumjum Haider, President of Hockey Arunachal, was conferred the “Best Sports Administrator (Hockey)” award for his disciplined leadership and clean administration.

Dr. Haider, who is also the Founder-Cum-President of Hockey Arunachal, established the organization in 2010 with the motto “To Promote Hockey in Arunachal Pradesh.” Under his visionary leadership, the sport has seen significant growth in the state, from grassroots awareness campaigns to ensuring the full utilization of Arunachal’s first world-class hockey turf at the Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy, Chimpu.

Re-elected unopposed as President in August 2023 for another four-year term, Dr. Haider has been instrumental in advancing the sport’s infrastructure and opportunities for young players. Beyond sports, he has also served as a State Information Commissioner, and earlier as the General Secretary of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) and the North East Students’ Organization (NESO) — roles that reflect his deep-rooted commitment to public service and youth leadership.

In his acceptance speech, Dr. Haider emotionally dedicated the accolade to the people of Arunachal Pradesh, saying:

“This award is not mine alone; it belongs to the resilient and dedicated people of Arunachal Pradesh. Their unwavering spirit is the true power behind our success. We will continue to climb, believing in that beautiful thought that the journey of a thousand goals begins with a single, disciplined step.”

His heartfelt words struck a chord with the gathering, highlighting the enduring link between sportsmanship and community spirit.

The event also recognized other key figures in North East hockey development. Shri Gyanendra Ningombam, former President of Hockey India, received the title of Sports Architect of North East for his long-standing contribution to regional sports growth. Shri Tapan Das, President of Hockey Assam, was named Best Hockey Promoter of Northeast India for his tireless efforts in popularizing the game across the region.

The high-profile event witnessed the presence of prominent hockey administrators, players, and delegates from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, and Tripura, alongside representatives from media and sponsoring organizations — underscoring the growing unity and momentum shaping the future of hockey in the North East.

In a major political development ahead of the upcoming elections, 42 leaders and karyakartas from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joined the Indian National Congress (INC) in Arunachal Pradesh on Friday, citing disillusionment with the BJP’s leadership and governance.

The joining ceremony was held at the Congress headquarters, Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan in Itanagar, in the presence of Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President Shri Bosiram Siram and AICC in-charges Dr. A. Chellakumar and Adv. Mathew Antony.

Among the prominent leaders who switched sides are Adv. Moli Riba, a respected social worker and former independent candidate from Likabali, and Shri Kojum Koyu, a senior BJP figure from the Nari-Koyu constituency. The two were joined by 40 BJP grassroots workers from various districts.

The defectors expressed deep dissatisfaction with the BJP’s internal functioning, alleging neglect of ground-level workers, lack of internal democracy, and deviation from people-centric governance.

“We no longer see our aspirations being represented in the BJP. Congress, under its current leadership, has shown a renewed commitment to democratic values and inclusive development,” said one of the newly joined leaders during the event.

Welcoming the new members, APCC President Shri Bosiram Siram called the defection a “clear indication” of public sentiment shifting in favor of the Congress.

“This massive joining reflects the people’s growing faith in the Congress Party’s principles of democracy, equality, and inclusive growth. We welcome all the new members and will work together to restore accountability and democratic values in governance,” he said.

The development is being seen as a boost to the Congress party’s prospects in Arunachal Pradesh, where the political atmosphere has been steadily heating up ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Vote Chori Campaign Gains Momentum

Earlier in the day, the APCC also carried out its “Vote Chori Signature Campaign” at Ganga Market, Itanagar. AICC leaders Dr. Chellakumar and Adv. Antony joined the campaign team as they went door-to-door and shop-to-shop, raising awareness about alleged electoral malpractices in the country.

Local shopkeepers and members of the public reportedly responded enthusiastically, lending their support and signing the petition in large numbers.

The Congress Party is expected to continue both its organizational outreach and issue-based campaigns in the coming weeks as it seeks to consolidate its position in the northeastern state.
