Arunachal Pradesh has embarked on an ambitious initiative named “Reforms 3.0,” aiming for comprehensive socio-economic transformation across the state. This reform agenda, unveiled during the inaugural State Cabinet meeting, includes 24 citizen-centric initiatives under the leadership’s commitment to a ‘Viksit Arunachal’ (Developed Arunachal).
Khandu was sworn in for the third consecutive term last Thursday, following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 46 of the 60 Assembly seats in Arunachal Pradesh.
