Inauguration of crèche facility at
Seppa Secretariat for staff children

Seppa, April 16:

In a notable push towards inclusive governance and digital transformation, the District Secretariat in Seppa on Thursday witnessed the inauguration of two key facilities, a dedicated crèche for staff children and a state-of-the-art Video Conference Hall.

Both facilities were inaugurated by Ealing Tallang, MLA of 10-Seppa East Assembly Constituency, in the presence of Yashaswini B, Deputy Commissioner of East Kameng; Shivendu Bhushan, Superintendent of Police, East Kameng; and Manjunath R, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Seppa (HQ), along with senior officials and staff of the district administration.

A Step Towards Women-Friendly Workspaces

The newly established crèche facility, conceptualized by Deputy Commissioner Yashaswini B and funded through the DC Untied Fund, addresses a long-standing challenge faced by working mothers in the district administration.

The initiative was born out of a practical observation, many women employees, especially mothers of infants, were often compelled to bring their children to the workplace, balancing professional duties with childcare responsibilities under strain.

The crèche now provides a safe, secure, and child-friendly environment within the office premises, enabling employees to work with greater focus, dignity, and peace of mind. The initiative reflects a strong commitment to employee welfare and gender-responsive governance.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Ealing Tallang described the facility as a progressive and people-centric intervention that strengthens women’s empowerment and promotes a healthier work culture.

Boost to Digital Governance

Alongside, a fully digitalised and AI-enabled Video Conference Hall was also inaugurated, marking a major leap in the district’s administrative infrastructure.

Developed under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner Yashaswini B and funded through the DC Untied Fund, the facility integrates advanced Artificial Intelligence systems to ensure seamless and high-quality virtual communication.

Equipped with intelligent audio-visual systems, real-time noise cancellation, automated camera tracking, and smart conferencing tools, the hall is designed to facilitate efficient virtual meetings, inter-departmental coordination, and high-level conferences. AI integration further enhances user experience through adaptive controls, optimized connectivity, and improved clarity.

The facility is expected to reduce logistical challenges, minimize travel, and enable faster decision-making through real-time connectivity with state and national platforms. It also strengthens preparedness for digital governance initiatives and emergency coordination.

Vision for a Model District

MLA Ealing Tallang lauded the district administration for embracing innovation and emphasized the growing importance of technology in strengthening grassroots governance.

Deputy Commissioner Yashaswini B stated that both initiatives align with the broader vision of building a smart, responsive, and future-ready administration. She reiterated the commitment to leveraging modern solutions to improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility.

Under her leadership, East Kameng district continues to implement people-oriented and technology-driven initiatives aimed at setting benchmarks across Arunachal Pradesh.

The dual inauguration not only enhances workplace welfare and morale but also signals a forward-looking approach to governance, where human-centric policies and digital innovation go hand in hand.
