Mein praised the legacy of past and present lawmakers, highlighting significant development over 50 years. He noted the recognition of over 220 unsung heroes as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and reflected on the assembly's transformation from its modest 33-member origins in 1975 to today's 60-member house.

The session underscored the importance of maintaining a non-disruptive legislative process, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pasang Dorjee Sona and others sharing insights on Arunachal's legislative history and development aspirations. The event concluded with presentations, including a documentary and a commemorative journal by Governor Lt Gen (Retd) K T Parnaik.
