Moran Community
Context
The Assam Cabinet has decided to grant Permanent Residence Certificates (PRCs) to members of the Moran community residing in Arunachal Pradesh. This move comes in response to the long-standing demand of the community to be recognized as residents of Arunachal Pradesh, where they have struggled to obtain PRCs. The decision will allow them to access government jobs, educational opportunities, and reservations available to the Moran community in Assam.
