ITANAGAR, Feb 19: Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein held another Pre-Budget Consultative meeting with Community Based Organizations of the State in his Secretariat Office here today. The government has made the “Budget Preparation” a participatory one for the last four years.
While welcoming and appreciating the proposals and suggestions submitted by the President, Arunachal Indigenous Tribes Forum, Bengia Tolum and other representatives of the CBOs, Mein said that the interests of all the indigenous communities will be looked into and adequate welfare measures will be taken by the government to protect, preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage and the indigenous dialects of the State.
