Pasighat is the headquarters of East Siang district in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. Situated at 155 meters, Pasighat is Arunachal's oldest town.〔(Pasighat: Oldest town of Arunachal Pradesh ). All India Radio.〕 == History == Pasighat was founded in 1911 A.D. by the British Raj as a gateway to administrative convenience of the greater Abor Hills and the north area in general. Primarily there were settlements of ''Adi'' tribesmen who are still living in the villages in and around Pasighat. Year 2011 (January) marked 100 years of its existence. Cognizance of Pasighat emerged due to the last ''Anglo-Abor War'' that was fought in 1912 subsequent to fourth ''Anglo-Abor War'' in 1894. This necessitated the first ever administrative headquarters being established here with an Assistant Political Officer posted. In the post-independent Era, Pasighat is credited with the first Airfield (near Paglek, P.I. Line) established in 1946. The first ''Agricultural Institute'' in Arunachal Pradesh was also established at Pasighat in 1950. Other forms of later infrastructural development include: * General Hospital (estb. 1954, although some claim it as old as the town itself), * Co-operative society Ltd (1957), * Nurse Training Centre (affiliated to General Hospital), * The first ever College in Arunachal Pradesh - Jawaharlal Nehru College (established: July 4, 1964) and also * the first ever All India Radio Station in the State in 1966. Early proponents for shifting the state capital from Shillong (the then ''NEFA''), underlined Pasighat's better infrastructure. However, the privilege was lost to the present capital Itanagar in 1974. The only significant development in Pasighat that came after that was the ''College Of Horticulture'' and ''Forestry Central Agriculture University'' established on March 7, 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pasighat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
