My dear fellow citizens of Arunachal Pradesh! As our nation moves towards the centenary of Independence, our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji has called upon all of us to contribute towards the vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047, of an India that is developed, prosperous, self-reliant, technologically advanced, socially just and environmentally responsible. Our beloved State of Arunachal Pradesh, the land of the rising sun, carries a proud and significant responsibility in this journey. As a frontier State of strategic importance, a custodian of some of the richest biodiversity on earth, an emerging green energy hub, and home to diverse indigenous communities, we are uniquely positioned to build a Viksit Arunachal and contribute meaningfully to Viksit Bharat. Over the past decade, we, as Team Arunachal, have made remarkable progress. Our economy has grown many fold, per capita income has doubled, connectivity has significantly improved, and our schools, healthcare systems and enterprises are steadily strengthening. These gains belong to all of us, to our farmers, women, students and youth, teachers, health workers, entrepreneurs, elders, Community Based Organisations, civil servants and our institutions. All our initiatives, policies and programmes have been designed, implemented and strengthened through your valuable suggestions and feedback. We remain committed to ensuring that the voice of every citizen, village and tribe forms an integral part of our collective model of governance, and that inclusive, holistic and sustainable development is realised through our shared resolve and commitment. It is in this spirit of Jan Bhagidari that we are now developing a comprehensive roadmap towards Viksit Arunachal @ 2047. We aspire to be a State where geography no longer determines opportunity, where every child is well educated, every citizen is healthy, every young person has skills, and every skill translates into opportunity and economic empowerment. We aspire to be a State where our natural wealth and indigenous heritage are cherished and protected for future generations, where development harmonizes with conservation, and where transparent, citizen-centric governance reaches the doorstep of every person. A vision of this magnitude must be written by the aspirations, ideas and efforts of every citizen across every village, town and home of Arunachal Pradesh. I therefore invite all our citizens, CBOs and NGOs of Arunachal Pradesh to share their valuable ideas and suggestions for building a Viksit Arunachal @ 2047. Your ideas and suggestions may be shared through the dedicated Viksit Arunachal @ 2047 portal (viksitarunachal2047.in) by 31st October 2026. I assure you that each and every idea and suggestion will be examined and deliberated on as we finalise our vision document for Viksit Arunachal @ 2047. Let us all come together to write our vision document for Viksit Arunachal @ 2047. Let us build a Viksit Arunachal for our future generations that is prosperous and carries within it the spirit of Arunachal Pradesh, rooted in our identity, developing sustainably with our mountains and rivers, and confident of our place in a Viksit Bharat.

Farmer ID generation is one of the biggest nationwide exercises to build a reliable agricultural information system and ensure better, more efficient delivery of government services and benefits to our farmers. Arunachal Pradesh has also begun this important drive, with its official launch held today at Roing, Lower Dibang Valley district. I appeal to all our farmers to actively participate and secure their unique Farmer ID.

Deeply pained by the passing of Panwang Wangham, Paramount Chief of Rusa village and a dear brother, who passed away this morning after a prolonged illness. A respected traditional leader, a true man of the people, and a pillar of strength for his community. His quiet dignity and guidance will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. I will forever treasure the good times and fond memories shared with him. Prayers for the departed soul, and solace to the family and the people of Rusa in this hour of sorrow.

Convened an emergency departmental meeting, following reports of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak in Dibang Valley, to ensure immediate containment and rapid response on the ground. Multiple Rapid Response Teams have been deployed in addition to the local field officers with medicines, testing equipment and disinfectants. Strict biosecurity measures and ring vaccination in surrounding areas are also being taken up without delay. I appeal to our farmers, PRI members and community leaders of Dibang Valley to work closely with our field veterinarians, restrict unnecessary livestock movement and report suspected cases immediately. Our livestock resources are the backbone of countless livelihoods, and protecting them is a responsibility we take on with utmost seriousness.

INNER LINE PERMIT: Held the second sitting of the High-Powered Committee on Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Itanagar today. Took stock of our progress and confronted real-world shortcomings of the current system to deliver a robust, highly secured ILP mechanism that truly protects our land and people. Securing our indigenous identity and protecting our borders isn't just today's responsibility—it is our duty for generations to come.

At the National Conference on AgriStack held at the ICAR Convention Centre in New Delhi, presented Arunachal Pradesh's innovative approach to building a digital agricultural framework in a Non-Record of Rights (Non-RoR) environment. Our state has successfully overcome Non-Record of Rights (Non-RoR) land challenges by partnering with the Arunachal Pradesh Space Application Centre (APSAC) to leverage satellite technology, GIS, AI/ML, and field-level validation. Having mapped 25,000 farm plots and generated our first 8,502 Farm IDs across 6 diverse pilot districts, we are now actively scaling up to cover all 27 districts. Sought Ministry support to maintain our state-developed methodology and recognise farm-boundary mapping for village registries. Under SASCI, we have also highlighted the need for appropriate flexibility in implementing the AgriStack components so that the State can build on its successful pilot and move towards statewide implementation in mission mode. Arunachal Pradesh remains committed to building a practical, inclusive and technology-driven digital agriculture ecosystem suited to the unique realities of our State.

Participated in the 97th ICAR Annual General Meeting at Pusa, New Delhi today, and placed state's core agricultural aspirations directly before Union Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji and ICAR. Key Priorities Placed: • State Agricultural Roadmap: Urged ICAR to expedite a tailored, time-bound roadmap suited to our terrain and agro-climatic conditions. • Central Kiwi Research Institute: Advocated for a dedicated national institute in Arunachal, given our state produces 60% of the country’s kiwis. • 10 Additional KVKs: Requested sanctioning new KVKs in uncovered districts to ensure technology transfer reaches our last-mile farmers. With ICAR as our strategic knowledge partner, we are committed to driving technology, sustainability, and prosperity across Arunachal Pradesh.
