It gives me immense pleasure to extend my warm greetings and heartfelt congratulations to the Galo community on the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Mopin Festival in Itanagar. The publication of the souvenir “Ai-Agam” is a commendable initiative reflecting our shared commitment to preserving rich cultural heritage.
Mopin is a profound expression of Galo traditions, agricultural wisdom, and spiritual beliefs. The graceful Popir dance and sacred chants of the Nyibus beautifully symbolize unity, discipline, and deep-rooted cultural identity. The festival also serves as a vital platform for strengthening social bonds and passing on indigenous knowledge to future generations.
It is encouraging to see Mopin evolving in contemporary settings while retaining its cultural essence, thereby promoting pride and identity among the people.
On this auspicious occasion, I extend my heartfelt best wishes for the grand success of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. May Mopin continue to inspire unity, prosperity, and harmony, and reinforce the enduring cultural identity of the Galo community.
