Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein was conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Honoris Causa) by Gauhati University, Assam, during its 32nd convocation held in Guwahati on Friday.

The honorary degree of doctor of philosophy was conferred on Mein in recognition of his multifaceted contributions to political leadership, cultural preservation, and social development.

The honorary degree was awarded by the Governor of Assam and Chancellor of Gauhati University, Lakshman Prasad Acharya, in the presence of Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma, Education Minister Dr Ranoj Pegu, Chief Secretary Dr Ravi Kota, among others.

Mein served as speaker of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly from 1998 and held key ministerial positions, including finance, power, and non-conventional energy resources.

As Deputy Chief Minister since 2016, he played a vital role in transferring hydropower projects from private developers to public sector undertakings, significantly impacting the state’s development.

In 2023, he was appointed chairman of the North-Eastern Regional Power Committee, underscoring his leadership in regional energy cooperation.

Mein was instrumental in revitalising the Tai Khamti language and culture. As a founding member of the Tai Khamti Heritage and Literary Society, he helped revise the Tai Khamti script and promote folksongs and music.

His commitment to cultural preservation is also reflected in his role in constructing the Golden Pagoda (Kongmu Kham) in Namsai, establishing an old-age home within the complex, and supporting the welfare of senior citizens.

Besides, he also pushed for the reopening of the historic Stilwell Road, connecting Arunachal Pradesh with Myanmar and Southeast Asia, which aims to strengthen cultural and trade ties between India and ASEAN countries.

He also championed the geographical indications (GI) recognition of 18 indigenous products of Arunachal and spearheaded the state core committee for the successful documentation of the 220 unsung heroes of the state.

Expressing his deep gratitude, Mein stated, “It is an honour to be acknowledged by Gauhati University, the premier institution of higher education in Northeast India and one of the most sought-after postgraduate institutions in the country. I accept this recognition with gratitude and humility.”
