The special announcement by the state government comes on the occasion of the golden jubilee celebrations, marking the 50th year of the naming of Arunachal Pradesh.

The month-long celebrations will commemorate at Ziro on January 20, 2022, as it was in Ziro that Arunanchal Pradesh got its name and Union Territory status in 1972. The closing ceremony will be held in Itanagar on the occasion of Statehood Day on February 20, 2022. 

In addition to the promotional films, the actor will also engage with the local youth of the state on a series of initiatives on substance abuse and other key issues that cause concern in the state.
