ITANAGAR, 23 Jul: Governor KT Parnaik and Chief Minister Pema Khandu held detailed discussions on the state’s developmental priorities, implementation of key projects, and measures to address challenges arising from natural disasters and climate-related events.

During a meeting with the chief minister at the Lok Bhavan here on Thursday, Parnaik congratulated Khandu and ‘Team Arunachal Pradesh’ on completing 10 years of dedicated public service. He observed that the past decade has witnessed significant progress across multiple sectors, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, connectivity, tourism and rural development. He noted that the government’s people-centric approach has helped bring governance closer to citizens, particularly those living in remote and border areas.

Appreciating flagship initiatives such as Seva Aapke Dwar, the governor said that the programme has transformed public service delivery by ensuring that government services reach the doorsteps of the people. He remarked that such initiatives have strengthened public trust and reinforced the spirit of inclusive development.

The governor also commended the state government’s efforts in advancing e-governance and digital service delivery. Emphasising the importance of technology-driven administration, he advocated greater use of geospatial applications, satellite imagery and data analytics for planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental projects. He said that these tools can significantly enhance decision-making, improve disaster preparedness, optimise resource utilisation, and ensure timely implementation of welfare and infrastructure programmes for the benefit of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
