The Chief Minister said the government was working towards the broader vision of Viksit Arunachal Pradesh 2047 and Viksit Bharat 2047, and called for greater youth participation in different sectors of development.
He further informed that appointment orders for Assistant Professors would be distributed shortly, while additional recruitment-related appointments in departments including the Police and Forest were also expected in the coming weeks.
