Nirjuli village-1 in Papum Pare district was on April 22 declared as the first digital village of Arunachal Pradesh.
After inaugurating it, north-east circle chief general manager of SBI PVSLM Murty said, that the SBI had urged the state government to improve connectivity in the state to speed up socio-economic development of the people.
Announcing all out support of the SBI, the lead bank of the state, he assured that it would promote V-set linked customer service point (CSP).
