Arunachal: The state government has taken up an initiative to develop infrastructure in villages along borderlands to put a check on migration from the remote ice-clad areas.
Amount of money given by Arunachal Government:
In a recent interview with the PTI, CM Khandu said that the Government has already given away an amount of Rs 4,000 Crore proposal to the Union home ministry as part of the plan. He stated, “The proposal has been already cleared by the ministry and it will now be placed before the Union Cabinet. Once cleared, border areas can be developed with all amenities so that migration can be stopped.”
Aim of the project:
The prime aim of the project is to construct roads, health centres and educational institutions, besides it also aims to electrify villages, improve mobile connectivity and water supply.
Arunachal’s endeavour to establish all-weather connectivity got a shot in the arm in February, with the Centre approving road construction projects of 598 km at an estimated cost of Rs 1,100 crore.
