ITANAGAR, Jan 3: Arunachal Pradesh tableau will take part in the 70th Republic Day parade at Rajpath in the national capital for a record 13th time on January 26 next.
The model ‘Peace Within’ is on the theme of a peaceful, serene and clean Arunachali village setting with a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. The theme has been conceived in the context of 150th anniversary of the Father of the Nation and as advised by experts of Ministry of Defence, Government of India, Art Expert Dhruba Bhattacharjee and his team of artists diligently prepared the Tableau. 
Altogether 32 states sent their Tableaus for selection out of which only 14 Tableaus representing 14 states have been selected by the Expert committee. Only Sikkim and Arunachal have been able to cross the hurdle from the North-East. It may be mentioned here that Arunachal Tableau has been selected for 13 times over the years and in 2017 the state won the first position amongst all the states. The theme then was 'Yak Dance' of the Monpas. 
The team consisting of Dhruba Bhattacharjee, Art Expert who won  state award (Gold Medal)  last year, Hage Habung,  Exhibition Assistant, Roto Tadi, Exhibition Artist, Sangey Tsewang, Artist and artistes from West Kameng district are leaving for New Delhi shortly. 
Minister, Information and Public Relations,  Bamang Felix, IPR Secretary Sonam Chombay, IPR Special Secretary Himanshu Gupta and IPR Director Obang Tayeng have congratulated the members of Art and Exhibition Cell of the department on their excellent achievement and stupendous success and conveyed their best wishes for the D-Day in New Delhi.
The IPR department is quietly contributing to the state government not only in the field of dissemination of information on policies and programmes of the government but also in other activities that can potentially enhance the image and esteem of the state government under CM Pema Khandu. The DIPROs in the districts are playing a pivotal role to make the Arunachal Rising campaign a huge success. Fingers crossed, hoping for yet another award in the final stage of the Tableaux at Rajpath, New Delhi, a release from the department said.
