Arunachal Pradesh has about 12,169 km of major district
roads.
The state had a road density of 25.74 km per 100 sq km, as
of March 2011, while the national average was 115 km per
100 sq km. Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has announced that
all districts, including the far flung areas, would be inter-
connected by mid -2017 through good quality roads.
Around 1,780.5 km of national highways run through
Arunachal Pradesh.
Under Arunachal Pradesh Package for Roads & Highways,
in 2009, the central government approved projects for
improving 1,472 km of National Highways and 847 km of
state roads. This is under the Prime Minister‟s package. In
October 2013, the central government cleared the 157 km
Miao-Vijaynagar project at a cost of US$ 27 million to be
completed in four years.
As per the Special Accelerated Road Development
Programme for North Eastern Region (SARDP-NE), in order
to boost growth momentum, 10,141 km of roads are to be
redeveloped to improve connectivity of the district
headquarters and the remote places of the Northeast region
with state capitals.
Of the total 10,141 km of roads, the Union Road Transport
and Highways Ministry recently approved 6,418 km. The
remaining 3,723 km have been approved for preparation of
a detailed project report that is scheduled to be completed
by 2017.

via Jully has been approved to reduce traffic congestion
between Naharlagun to Itanagar.
In November 2014, the Union Home Ministry submitted a
detailed proposal to build nearly 2,000 km of highly strategic
all-weather road, overseeing the entire China border in
Arunachal Pradesh. The standalone road project between
Tawang and Vijaynagar, covering the entire length of
Arunachal Pradesh from far east to the western most point,
will go along the high ridge of the eastern Himalayas. This
project is expected to put India at par with China in terms of
border infrastructure.
In the 1980s, air services were provided by Vayudoot, a JV
of Indian Airlines and Air India, which ceased operations in
1997. In December 1995, the state government introduced
passenger flight services with a fleet of two Pawan Hans
helicopters: a nine-seater Dauphin helicopter and a 24-
seater MI-172 type helicopter.
Initially operating on the Naharlagun (close to Itanagar) to
Guwahati and Mohanbari (both in Assam) route, the service
currently also connects major local towns, including
Tawang, Ziro, Pasighat, Daporijo, Along, Yingkiong, Roing,
Tezu, Khonsa, Changlang, Namsai and Anini.
A proposed greenfield airport near the capital, Itanagar,
received environmental clearance in April 2010. The
Ministry of Civil Aviation has also planned to operate
airports at Tezu, Pasighat, Along, Daporijo and Ziro.
The state‟s capital, Itanagar, was put on the country's
railway map in April 2014. The state government plans to
extend the existing railway connectivity and connect the
Upper Assam areas with Arunachal Pradesh.
In October 2014, the Union Railway Ministry approved the
proposal to connect New Delhi with Naharlagun, 15 km
away from Itanagar, with a bi-weekly Rajdhani Express.

The central government launched "Look East Policy" which has helped in development of infrastructure for industries and
trade.
The North East Industrial Investment Promotion Policy-2007 (NEIIPP-2007) has been formulated by the Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, Government of India for industrialisation and development of the North-East Region, including
Arunachal Pradesh.
The Industrial Policy, 2008 of Arunachal Pradesh is formulated to create an investment-friendly environment in the state for
industrial growth in the private/joint venture and cooperative sectors for sustainable economic development of Arunachal
Pradesh.
The state government has set up District Industries Centres (DICs) across districts. These DICs play a vital role in industrial
development by providing services to entrepreneurs that include identification of suitable schemes; preparation of project
reports; arrangement for providing required plant, machinery and raw-materials; assistance in availing incentives and
facilities provided by both central and state governments; and liaison with all development departments and financial
institutions to provide assistance to prospective entrepreneurs.
Based on the availability of resources, the state has identified thrust areas for industrial development:
Industries based on agricultural, horticultural and plantation produce.
Industries based on non-timber forest produce such as bamboo, cane (rattan), medicinal plants/herbs, aromatic
grass, tea and coffee.
Industries based on locally available raw-materials, except timber.
Textiles (handlooms and power-looms), handicrafts and sericulture.
Electronics and IT-based enterprises.
Mineral-based industries (such as ferro-alloys, cement, etc.).
Facilitation and development of industrial infrastructure, including power and communications, under public private
partnership.
Food processing industries and engineering and allied industries (rolling mill, steel mill, etc.); and
Tourism.
The state‟s Chief Minister has assured the addition of 0.1 million jobs during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017).
During the financial year 2012-13, creation of 10,000 job opportunities was targeted. However, nearly 17,327 youth were
employed during the year, exceeding the set target by a huge margin.
For 2013-14, the target for employment was further raised to 25,000.
In order to propel employment growth, the state government has arranged for training of a 100 candidates at IIWS, Noida,
New Delhi, during 2012-13. Out of these 100 candidates, 79 were placed and the remaining were engaged in self
employment.
The success of the training led the government to increase the number of trainees to 200 in 2013-14.
The Chief Minister's Skill Development Programme helped in improving employability of educated unemployed youth in the
state. Its main objective is to provide 100,000 jobs for unemployed youths during the 12th Five Year Plan. Under this
initiative, Job Mela-cum-Skill Development Interview Rally is being organised at regular intervals. Till December 2014, more
than 31,000 youths have been employed or self employed.
Furthermore, the state government has announced that a minimum of 10 per cent of the funds allocated to the MLA local
area development scheme will be used to train unemployed youths. This will help them acquire the necessary skills for
taking up self-employment activities or for enhancing their employability.
Other schemes that have helped in employment generation include: National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA),
Prime Minister's Rozgar Yojana (PMRY), Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), Scheme for Working Women
Hostels, Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) and Training of Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM).
The resources, policy incentives and climate in state
support investments in mining and mineral products
(including cement), tissue culture and floriculture, plantation
crops (tea, rubber, etc.) and agro-based industries.

Arunachal Pradesh has been identified as a major potential area for power production. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, a total of
96 hydropower projects having a generation capacity of 47,000 MW were announced for the state. Arunachal Pradesh has
the potential to generate 60,000 MW of hydro power. The central government identified 13 hydro electric projects that are
key to the state.
The government recently allocated a total of 102 hydro power projects aggregating 35,031.5 MW to private players. This
was due to reallocation of some projects from public companies to private companies.
Four of the biggest projects currently under construction include the 2,000 MW Subansiri Lower, 600 MW Kameng, 110 MW
Pare and 1,750 MW Demwa Lower hydroelectric projects. These projects are expected to be completed between 2013 and
2017.
A 2x30 KW Ashapani micro hydel project has been commissioned in Anjaw district of the state, with an objective of
electrification of Chaglagam circle and its adjoining villages.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) granted pre-construction scoping clearances to over 50 projects under the
EIA notification 2006. Final environmental clearance has been awarded to 13 projects.
The sixth meeting of the task force on Hydro Project Development was held in New Delhi in September 2013, wherein the
state government urged the Union Ministry of Power to speed up the process of granting the remaining clearances.
Arunachal Pradesh would get 12 per cent power from each project for free, making it a power surplus state and enabling it
to generate revenues through sale to other states.
Arunachal Pradesh has considerable mineral reserves, and
preliminary studies have highlighted economic mineral
deposits in considerable quantity.
The state has reserves/resources of coal in Namchik
Namphuk Coalfields; dolomite in West Kameng district;

Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy of Arunachal
Pradesh. It is mainly depended on 'jhum' cultivation. The
state‟s agriculture and allied sectors have growth rates that
are three times the national average.
Major agro and forest based industries in the state are
related to tea, fruit, non-timber and plywood industries.
Around two-thirds of the state‟s population is dependent on
agriculture.
The state government‟s New Agricultural Policy 2001 aims
to achieve higher economic growth and create job
opportunities for the unemployed in rural areas. The state
government is focusing on improving farmer income through
higher productivity, use of suitable farm techniques,
upgrading technical competency, marketing support and

promoted through the Government craft centre.
Carpets are woven with varied colours, designs (geometric, dragon, floral) and shapes. The other main products of the
industry in the state are wall hangings, cushion pads, telephone pads, floor coverings, etc. With increase in demand, carpets
have become a major item of trade as well as a major occupation for women folks of the state.
Sericulture is also practised in the state; in 2012–13, the state had 240 hectares of area under silk production and produced
about 22 Metric Tonnes of raw silk. To give a major thrust to this business, Arunachal Pradesh‟s government is reorganising
the existing seed production centre by providing additional operational buildings and technical staff. It is also supporting
rearers by supplying the required seeds, planting materials and rearing appliances, among others.
The Department of Textile & Handicraft(s), Arunachal Pradesh, supports the textile sector‟s development. It provides self-
employment opportunities to weavers and artisans through several development projects. There are 88 crafts centres
imparting training in different trades. The department has 15 Emporia, three mini sales Emporia and five showrooms for
marketing handloom and handicraft products manufactured by local artisans.
Under the Integrated Handloom Development Scheme, 22 clusters were taken up in the state between 2007-08 and 2011-
12.
