ITANAGAR, SEP 6:

The Press Information Bureau (PIB), Itanagar, is organising its first-ever press tour to Gujarat for journalists from Arunachal Pradesh from September 6 to 12, with the objective of strengthening media engagement and providing first-hand exposure to the State’s development initiatives and governance practices.

A nine-member delegation of journalists from Arunachal Pradesh, led by PIB Itanagar Joint Director Utsav Parmar, will undertake the seven-day exposure tour.

During the visit, the delegation will interact with government agencies, project authorities and other stakeholders to gain insights into the planning, implementation and outcomes of various development initiatives.

The tour will cover areas including governance, infrastructure, technology, economy and public service delivery, offering the journalists a comparative perspective on development experiences in Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh.

The visit will also facilitate interaction and exchange of professional experiences between journalists and stakeholders, particularly in the context of the two states’ distinct geographical, cultural and socio-economic characteristics.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening the relationship between PIB Itanagar and the media fraternity of Arunachal Pradesh through sustained interaction, field-based exposure and greater access to information. It is also expected to contribute to a broader understanding of the diverse development approaches adopted across different parts of the country.
