EP Desk Pasighat 15/2/2026:
Presidential candidate Meje Taku has presented his vision and key priorities for the upcoming election of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU), focusing on strengthening education systems, expanding employment opportunities and ensuring greater welfare support for students across Arunachal Pradesh.

Addressing students, Taku recalled his narrow defeat in the 2022 election by 123 votes and reiterated that his commitment to the student community remained unwavering. He said leadership is not defined by position but by continuous service to students and the protection of indigenous rights and academic interests.

Taku highlighted the need to improve higher and technical education by increasing intake capacity in key institutions such as Rajiv Gandhi University, NERIST and NIT, with a special focus on reservation for APST students. He stressed the importance of fully residential campuses, separate hostels for girls, and improved infrastructure to resolve long-standing issues such as water scarcity and transportation in campuses.

He also proposed introducing a wider range of academic subjects in affiliated colleges, making admissions and examinations more affordable, and ensuring timely disbursement of scholarships. Upgrading infrastructure across premier institutions to meet modern academic standards was another major priority he underlined.

On employment, Taku said efforts would be made to ensure mandatory APST and PRC requirements in recruitment processes conducted by state agencies. He stressed the importance of promoting industry and entrepreneurship, along with simplifying procedures for government schemes meant for unemployed youths.

He further called for immediate steps to fill vacant teaching posts in government schools and recruitment drives in government colleges according to UGC norms. Skill development initiatives, foreign language training and guidance for overseas employment opportunities for youths were also highlighted.

Taku also emphasised initiatives aimed at supporting meritorious students through scholarship and felicitation programmes, promoting study-exchange opportunities, and ensuring equal representation of less-represented districts within AAPSU.

He proposed annual career counselling programmes, fellowship support for APST PhD scholars, and the creation of a dedicated helpdesk and helpline for students in need. Financial assistance for competitive examination coaching and regular consultations with scholars and NGOs were also part of his outlined priorities.

Reflecting on his tenure as AAPSU Vice President (Admin), Taku noted his role in leading the COVID-19 Task Force for safe repatriation of stranded students and facilitating the release of scholarship funds. He also cited his advocacy on issues concerning indigenous rights, recruitment of teachers to address the education crisis, and academic safeguards for local scholars.

He expressed confidence that with a strong mandate, the coming years would be crucial in translating these priorities into action and strengthening the student movement in the state.
