Armstrong Pame, popularly known as the "Miracle Man" of Manipur truly manifests the duties & responsibilities that comes with the tag. The IAS Officer's first claim to fame was the construction of a 100 km stretch of road constructed in the state, joining two inaccessible villages Tusem and Tamenglag in 2012. The herculean task of building the "People's road" was even surprisingly completed without any help from government and rather by the money raised through social media. He was nominated for the CNN-IBN "Indian of the year" Award in Public service category in 2012, and got conferred with India's Most Eminent IAS officer Award in 2015. He was also invited to the talk show 'Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi ' (AKRHZ) by host Amitabh Bachchan in 2015 as the “HERO” of the episode. Armstrong Pame is also the founding curator of Global Shaper's community, Imphal hub under World Economic forum.
It is the man who believes in perseverance and determination to bring alive the dire dreams of people.
