The Chief Minister recently chaired the first phase of this initiative, focusing specifically on the state’s newest administrative units, including Kamle, Lower Siang, Pakke Kessang, Lepa Rada, Shi Yomi, Keyi Panyor, and Bichom. During an intensive four-hour session, officials assessed the functional status of these districts, highlighting the urgent need for policy interventions and increased departmental staffing.
CM Khandu emphasized that this review is not a one-off event but a strategic roadmap toward building a more “people-centric” administration. By engaging directly with elected legislators, deputy commissioners, and department heads, the government aims to identify both immediate administrative hurdles and long-term development priorities.
The initiative is particularly significant for the newly formed districts, which are still in the process of establishing robust administrative frameworks. Government officials stated that the ultimate goal is to ensure the benefits of decentralization reach the grassroots level. This involves accelerating the implementation of welfare schemes and fostering better coordination between various government wings.
The review exercise is set to continue through four distinct phases, eventually covering every district in the state. As the Arunachal government seeks to modernize its governance mechanism, this systematic evaluation marks a pivotal step in ensuring that the state’s administration is as responsive and agile as the people it serves.
