Serving as a dynamic platform, the event brought together youth from across Arunachal Pradesh to address pressing issues and engage in developmental initiatives. Established in 1978, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) stands as the largest youth-based political organization globally, operating under the umbrella of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He encouraged their involvement in the dissemination of benefits from both central and state flagship programs, including schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana and Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana, designed to nurture entrepreneurship among the youth. Highlighting the need for dedicated support from youth party workers, Mein underscored the importance of transcending leader-based politics and aligning with the BJP ideology for the state’s welfare.
Recognizing the immense potential and talent among Arunachal Pradesh’s youth, Mein emphasized their pivotal role as agents of change in shaping the state’s future.
