\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cUpper Siang\u2019s Tuting administrative division is one of the most vivid and colourful in terms of the people living here. Each one of them is unique, distinct and independent. Your peaceful coexistence and cultural amalgamation is the hallmark of the district,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khandu informed that under the central government\u2019s ambitious flagship programme, \u2018Vibrant Village\u2019 Tuting area will witness a rapid transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vibrant Villages Programme (VVP), a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) launched in 2023, aims comprehensive development of select villages in 46 blocks in 19 districts abutting the northern border in Arunachal Pradesh along with Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Ladakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme envisages focused areas of interventions in the select villages for the creation of opportunities for livelihood generation through the promotion of tourism and cultural heritage, skill development and entrepreneurship and development of cooperative societies including agriculture\/horticulture, cultivation of medicinal plants\/herbs etc. the interventions also include providing road connectivity to unconnected villages, housing and village infrastructures, energy including renewable energy, television and telecom connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAnd recently Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sanctioned about 1022 kms of roads under the programme for Arunachal Pradesh. We are thankful to the Modi government that Arunachal Pradesh has the most number of border villages listed under the programme,\u201d Khandu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for remodelling the concept of border villages, Khandu said that Gelling, which was known as the last village on the Indian side in Tuting sub-division, today has become the \u2018first village\u2019 on the Indian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He said under the present central and state government connectivity sector in the state has witnessed a sea change. Be it roads, air, rail or digital, he said all modes of connectivity have significantly improved in the last 7-8 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khandu revealed that to accelerate the growth of the state, his government has chalked out a blueprint to overhaul the existing planning process, which he assured will be put to implementation after the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new planning process will extensively involve stakeholders at the ground level as it is the people in villages and officers on ground who actually know what is required. So our state plan will stand on the inputs from the ground. The entire process will be from bottom to top, not like the erstwhile top-to-bottom process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Khandu assured that the new model of planning will accelerate the holistic development of all villages in the state and that government resources will be optimally utilized without wastage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appreciating local legislator and Minister Health Alo Libang for all round development of the district, he noted that once the new Yingkiong-Tuting road is complete, the district will witness a surge in tourism activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khandu in the presence of MP Tapir Gao, Libang and MLAs Kaling Moyong and Kento Jini inaugurated a bridge over Nyigong River at Tuting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Later in the day Khandu reached Yingkiong, the district headquarters and on arrival inaugurated several developmental projects that included the upgradation of the road from Aalo-Yingkiong BRTF road to Dite-Dime to Migging BRTF road, a new CHC building and EAC office at Jengging, cement concrete pavement Nubo road, a micro hydel station (2x25kw) at Man and a micro hydel station (1x30kw) at Palling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
