While I agree with the Governor's sentiment, I respectfully feel the emphasis on English proficiency is a double-edged sword. We must not let it overshadow the importance of mastering our mother tongues and regional languages. Confidence should come from expressing ideas in any language.

Absolutely correct! Disciplined and articulate youth are the real wealth of any nation. In today's competitive world, being able to communicate your thoughts clearly is half the battle won. Kudos to the NGO for this work.

As someone who has worked with youth in the Northeast, this is heartening to see. The cultural performance addition is lovely—it shows confidence isn't just about speeches, but expressing one's heritage proudly. More power to these students!

The focus on overcoming stage fright is so important. Many brilliant Indian students have ideas but hesitate to voice them. Initiatives like debate competitions can unlock so much potential. Hope this spreads pan-India.

True progress happens when our youth from every corner of Bharat are heard. Arunachal's youth have unique perspectives that can greatly benefit the country. This is a step in the right direction for a truly inclusive society.
