The minister proposed the establishment of a regional cultural centre of the North East Zone Cultural Centre (NEZCC) at Jote near here to serve as a hub for preserving and promoting indigenous art, music, and traditions.

“We are committed to preserving and promoting our rich cultural legacy. The proposed centre at Jote will serve as a vibrant hub for indigenous art, music, and traditions,” the official statement quoted Pul as saying.

The minister also emphasised the need to upgrade multi-purpose cultural complexes (MPCCs) across the state to create more inclusive community spaces.

“Upgraded cultural complexes will provide inclusive spaces for youth and artisans to engage, perform, and grow,” she pointed out.
