Gida Sima Son of Gida takar Clears State Civil Service Exam, Qualifies for UPSC Mains 2025
Itanagar, Aug 9, 2025 — In an inspiring feat of perseverance and ambition, Gida Sima, son of Gida Takar, has emerged as one of Arunachal Pradesh’s brightest civil service prospects this year.
Earlier in 2025, Sima successfully cleared the prestigious Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service Examination, a milestone that marks entry into the state’s elite administrative cadre. Not resting on his laurels, he went on to take the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Preliminary Examination, regarded as one of India’s toughest competitive tests — and cleared it in his very first attempt this year.
According to the UPSC’s June 11 announcement, Sima is among 14,161 candidates nationwide who have qualified for the next stage — the UPSC Civil Services Mains Examination, slated to begin on August 22, 2025.
Speaking to local reporters, friends described Sima as “disciplined, quietly determined, and deeply committed to public service.
The UPSC Civil Services Examination is a three-stage process — Prelims, Mains, and the Personality Test (Interview) — designed to select officers for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and other central services. Clearing the Prelims is often considered the first major hurdle, with success rates averaging below 3%.
Sima’s achievement has generated a wave of pride in his hometown and across the state, with many seeing him as a role model for Arunachal’s youth. Social media posts from well-wishers have praised his dedication and urged him to “bring the voice of the Northeast to the national stage.
As the Mains exam date approaches, Sima is said to be focusing on essay writing, ethics, and his optional subject, alongside extensive answer-writing practice — key components of the second stage of the UPSC examination.
Whether it is serving the state or the nation, Gida Sima’s journey reflects a steady climb toward leadership in public administration. For now, all eyes will be on August, when the next chapter of his remarkable story unfolds.

AAPSU Declares ANSU Order Against AKDSU President Null and Void, Urges Unity Among Student Bodies

Itanagar, July 31, 2025 — In a significant development amid growing tensions between student bodies in Arunachal Pradesh, the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has officially invalidated an order issued by the President of the All Nyishi Students' Union (ANSU), which declared the President of the All Kamle District Students' Union (AKDSU) as "Anti-Union" and "Anti-Nyishi".

According to an official communication dated July 31, 2025, AAPSU stated that ANSU’s directive, referenced as ANSU/34/25 and dated July 24, 2025, holds no constitutional or organizational jurisdiction over district-level student unions like AKDSU. The AAPSU reaffirmed that AKDSU, as a federal unit under its umbrella, operates autonomously within the constitutional framework of the apex state student body.

The statement, issued by AAPSU President Dozi Tana Tara, emphasized that ANSU’s move to terminate the AKDSU President and direct authorities to cease cooperation with him was not only overreaching but also legally untenable. "ANSU, being a community-based students' organization, holds no jurisdictional or constitutional mandate to interfere in the internal matters of any District Students' Union," the order firmly stated.

In response, AAPSU directed all students and government authorities in Kamle District — including the Hon’ble MLA of 25th Raga Assembly Constituency, the Deputy Commissioner, the Superintendent of Police, and all departmental heads — to disregard the ANSU order and to continue full cooperation with AKDSU leadership.

Calling for unity and responsible leadership, the AAPSU leadership urged all concerned parties to work collaboratively in the interest of students and indigenous communities of the district. “All authorities and the student community are directed to extend full cooperation and collaboration with AKDSU in the interest of the student community and indigenous people of the district,” the order concluded.

This move by AAPSU highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining cohesion among various student bodies in the state, particularly when questions of jurisdiction and autonomy arise. It also underscores AAPSU's role as the constitutional guardian of student organizations across Arunachal Pradesh.

Youth Association Alleges Massive Corruption in PMGSY Road Projects in Kurung Kumey

Kurung Kumey, Arunachal Pradesh – July 30, 2025
The All Hiba-I Hiba-II Youth Association (AHHYA) has accused officials and contractors of large-scale corruption in two PMGSY-funded road projects in Kurung Kumey district, alleging embezzlement of over ₹28 crore.

In complaint letters dated July 24 and 29, AHHYA named the Executive Engineer of RWD Laaying Yangte Division and contractors M/S Buru Enterprise, M/S AK & B Enterprise, and M/S BB Enterprise in connection with the alleged fraud. Despite sanctioned amounts of ₹19.79 crore for the 39.454 km Langriak Stage-II road and ₹8.65 crore for the 17.800 km Nibi–Hiba Full Stage road, the association claims there has been no visible progress.

Key Allegations:

No machinery or labor present at project sites.

Roads remain inaccessible or untouched.

Safety hazards persist due to poor maintenance and drainage.

AHHYA is demanding:

Immediate halt of further fund disbursal.

Blacklisting of implicated contractors.

Departmental action against involved RWD officials.

Independent audit of all PMGSY projects in the region.

Signed by AHHYA leadership including President Ngorang Tachung and General Secretary Hiba Poul, the complaints have been forwarded by the Sangram SDO to higher authorities. However, no formal response has been issued as of yet.

The allegations raise pressing questions about transparency, oversight, and the integrity of rural infrastructure development in Arunachal Pradesh.

Clarification by Hiya-Lumtey Youth Association Regarding Viral PWD Enquiry Office Photo

In response to a viral photo circulating on social media showing a bamboo-sheet structure labeled as the PWD Enquiry Office in Hiya village, the Hiya-Lumtey Youth Association would like to issue the following clarification:

The structure in question is a temporary shed, built voluntarily by a concerned villager using personal funds, without any government allocation or support. Its primary purpose is to maintain a register of labourers in the area and facilitate local coordination.

Unfortunately, the image has sparked misleading comments and negative trolling online, with some blaming the local community and criticizing the state of infrastructure development. We urge the public to refrain from spreading misinformation or targeting Hiya village unfairly.

This initiative was a community-driven effort to fulfill an immediate need—not a reflection of government negligence or village indifference. We request everyone to understand the context before drawing conclusions and spreading negativity.
