All the VKVs of Arunachal Pradesh did a commendable job by covering so many schools situated in the remotest corner of the state. “The wars are won or lost in the minds”- the famous saying is better understood when we analyzed the mammoth work which we had undertaken recently to organize Vivek Utkarsh, all Arunachal written Quiz for the School students of the state.  Our team accepted the programme with much enthusiasm and that resulted in reaching to every nook and corner of the state. Shri Keshab Upadhya of VKV Kharsang walked 10 days for the to and fro journey to Vijayanagar on foot.         

Vijayanagar is a narrow stripped mountain valley; surrounded on three sides (Northeast, South and West) by Myanmar while from Northwestern side, enclave by stretches of Namdapha National Park. There is no surface road connection to the area and is totally cut-off from rest of the world.The only conveyance for the 6000 population of Vijayanagaris AN-32, the transport flight operated by IAF. It is said the people of Vijayanagar often look to the sky, not for rain, but for the fair weather, which facilitates the get in of the sortie from behind the snow-clad mountain. Most of the people rely on six days foot journey to Miao for the essentials. Foot marching for six days through thick forest, steep accidental slopes and across the gushing waters really puts the life into stake.   In many places the foot-track passes through precipitous slopes. In between 27 to 31 miles from Miao, it negotiates steep cliff overlooking the river below. People crawl along the slope climbing up and down and holding rocks, twigs, plants and roots.

Accepting the fact ‘We can do!” has helped us to undertake such task. Before undertaking the mammoth task we decided to make that happen and we could make it as a great event. This winning attitude is to be our habit as we have to do many such tasks in the days to come.

Prajnya Vikash Written Quiz: The written Prajnya Vikash Quiz was conducted for the students of VKVs on 13 December, 2013. The large number of registrations in all the categories proves the esteem of the Quiz. The written quiz aimed to train the students in competitive examinations and also to improve the students’ ability to process, interpret and use information many new sections were introduced like qualitative reasoning, quantitative reasoning, application of science and mathematics, current affairs.
