Who we are

In Arunachal Pradesh, fast-changing lifestyles are creating a gap between generations, and young children risk losing touch with their culture. The Donyi Polo Cultural and Charitable Trust (DPCCT) is here to change that. We provide education that honours Indigenous traditions while preparing children for the modern world.

At Nyubu Nyvgam Yerko Mwya Gurukul in Keyi Panyor, 125 Nyishi children live and learn like in a traditional Gurukul. Here, CBSE academics meet storytelling, music, crafts, and lessons in language, rituals, and moral values. Children don’t just study—they dance, sing, create, and explore their heritage every day, growing in confidence and curiosity.

The Nyishi community is full of vibrancy—bamboo and cane artisans, weavers, festival-lovers, and nature stewards. Our Gurukul ensures these children carry their rich traditions into the future while learning modern skills.
