ITANAGAR : Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday called on Governor Lt Gen K T Parnaik (Retd) at Raj Bhavan, where they discussed the state’s developmental priorities, implementation of key projects and measures to address challenges arising from natural disasters and climate-related events.

The Governor congratulated the Chief Minister and “Team Arunachal Pradesh” on completing ten years of public service and leadership, stating that the past decade had witnessed significant progress across infrastructure, education, healthcare, connectivity, tourism and rural development.

He observed that the government’s people-centric approach has brought governance closer to citizens, particularly those living in remote and border areas.

Appreciating flagship initiatives such as Seva Aapke Dwar (SAD), the Governor said the programme has transformed public service delivery by taking government services to the doorsteps of the people, thereby strengthening public trust and promoting inclusive development.

The Governor also commended the state government’s efforts to expand e-governance and digital service delivery. Stressing the importance of technology-driven administration, he advocated greater use of geospatial applications, satellite imagery and data analytics for planning, monitoring and evaluating developmental projects.

He said the adoption of such technologies would enhance decision-making, improve disaster preparedness, optimise resource utilisation and ensure the timely implementation of welfare and infrastructure programmes for the benefit of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
