It is a matter of great pride and joy to extend my warm greetings to the people of Arunachal Pradesh, especially the Galo community, on the auspicious occasion of the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Mopin Festival.

Mopin is a vibrant reflection of our rich cultural heritage and age-old traditions, deeply rooted in the values of harmony, prosperity, and community bonding. The festival symbolizes our collective prayers for abundance and wellbeing. The rituals, folk traditions, and the graceful Popir dance embody the spirit of unity and cultural identity that has been preserved across generations.

The celebration of sixty glorious years of Mopin Festival stands as a testament to the resilience, unity, and cultural pride of the Galo community. It is heartening to see such dedicated efforts in preserving and promoting indigenous traditions through initiatives like the publication of this souvenir “Ai-Agam” which beautifully captures the essence of our heritage, folklore, and collective memory.

I commend the organizers for their tireless efforts in making this grand celebration a success. Such initiatives not only strengthen cultural roots but also inspire the younger generation to cherish and carry forward our invaluable traditions.

May this Diamond Jubilee celebration bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to all, and may the spirit of Mopin continue to illuminate our path with unity and hope.
