MLA Pani Taram Inaugurates Mini Secretariat at Damin, Promises Development for Koloriang Constituency

Kurung Kumey, Sept 6: In a move aimed at improving governance in one of the most remote corners of Arunachal Pradesh, a Mini Secretariat ADC office was inaugurated at Damin in Kurung Kumey district on Friday by MLA Pani Taram.

Speaking at the ceremony, Taram said the new office would bring administrative services “closer to the doorstep of the people,” many of whom currently travel long and difficult routes to reach district headquarters. “This is not just a building, it is a symbol of our commitment to inclusive development,” he told the gathering.

For decades, villagers in Damin and neighboring areas have struggled with poor connectivity and limited access to government services. Locals expressed hope that the new Secretariat will cut down on bureaucratic delays and reduce the burden of travel.

Community leader welcomed the initiative, saying it would help bridge the gap between the administration and the people. “Earlier, even small official work required a journey of several days. Now, things will be easier,” he said.

The MLA also used the occasion to reiterate his focus on the overall development of the 21st Koloriang Assembly Constituency, promising to push for better infrastructure, roads, education, and healthcare in the region.

The inauguration was attended by government officials, panchayat leaders, and residents who hailed the office as a milestone for the constituency.

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.
