He suggested that educational institutes should conduct pre-UPSC examinations and create obstacle courses to prepare students for the SSB and NDA selection.
The governor expressed his desire to see more youth from Arunachal Pradesh join the National Defence Academy, Indian Military Academy, and Officers Training Academy, bringing laurels to the state.
As part of their preparation, NDA aspirants from different parts of Arunachal Pradesh underwent a two-month training course at Bhonsala Military School, Nasik, sponsored by Vivekananda Kendra, Arunachal Pradesh.
