Digital governance reshaping Arunachal: Khandu
In a social media post, Khandu outlined how the shift to digital governance is not just about modernisation, but about cleansing the system, restoring public trust, and eliminating opportunities for corruption.
"Reflecting at a time when governance was synonymous with long queues, misplaced files, and approvals that often depended on personal influence rather than genuine need, that's why we chose the digital path. Not just to modernise, but to cleanse the system, to bring back trust," Khandu said in a post on X.
The chief minister cited the implementation of e-office as a game-changer, where no file can go missing and every movement is transparently tracked.
The introduction of e-receipts has ended unofficial cash transactions by ensuring that every rupee is digitally recorded. With digital dashboards, delays are now visible and responsibility is clearly assigned, while online public services have eliminated the role of middlemen, allowing citizens direct access to the system, he said.
"This is how we fight corruption, not with slogans, but with systems that cannot lie," Khandu asserted.
Echoing this vision, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein lauded the sweeping changes brought about under Digital Arunachal 2.0, describing it as a transformation from "geographic isolation to digital innovation".
In a social media post, Mein revealed that over 971 government offices are currently operating through the e-office system, having processed more than 2.45 lakh files and generated over 3.87 crore e-receipts to date.
He added that citizen-centric services are now accessible online, while real-time monitoring through the e-pragati dashboard is enabling faster and more accountable implementation of government schemes.
"This transformation reflects our commitment to building a Viksit Arunachal, where technology empowers every citizen and inclusive progress reaches every corner," the deputy chief minister added.

Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday asserted that the state was the "emerging hydropower capital of India", highlighting its massive energy potential and its transformative role in economic development and community welfare. Arunachal emerging hydropower capital of India: CM Khandu In a post on X, Khandu said that with a hydropower potential of 56,000 megawatts, Arunachal Pradesh is not only positioning itself as the energy engine of the nation but is also setting an example of how natural beauty and modern infrastructure can coexist. "Arunachal is rising, not only as the hydro capital of India, but as a beacon of how natural beauty and progress can walk hand-in-hand," he stated. Showcasing the rapid progress made in the power sector, the chief minister noted that several key hydropower projects that were once confined to paperwork are now becoming operational realities. The 600 MW Kameng project has already been completed, while the 2,000 MW Subansiri Lower project is nearing commissioning, he said. "In a major boost to the country's energy capacity, the 2,880 MW Dibang project, set to become India's largest hydroelectric plant, is also progressing steadily," Khandu said. The chief minister said that 13 new projects with a combined capacity of 15,000 MW are expected to come up in the next three years, signalling an unprecedented surge in Arunachal Pradesh's role in national energy production. However, he underlined that the hydropower push is not solely about generating electricity but also about improving lives across the state. "This isn't just about power generation. It's about powering people's lives," he emphasised. Khandu detailed the tangible economic benefits from these projects. According to him, ₹4,171 crore worth of free power will be routed back to the state, directly boosting the state's internal revenues. In addition, ₹735 crore is being invested directly into local communities, supporting infrastructure, livelihoods, and welfare. The chief minister also mentioned that the state expects ₹1,884 crore annually in dividends from its hydropower ventures, a major injection into the state's economy. With a focus on clean energy, job creation, and equitable growth, Arunachal Pradesh's hydropower journey is rapidly turning into a model for green development in the country, he added.

He also unveiled the state's long-term vision for agriculture through the Horticulture Policy 2025–35. 'From the hills of Dambuk to the orchards of Ziro, our farmers are proving what's possible when vision meets hard work," Khandu said in a post on X, celebrating the state's achievements.

It has secured the second position nationally in mandarin orange production, clocking an impressive 84,000 metric tonnes. The state also leads the North Eastern Region in large cardamom output, with a yield of 4,467 metric tonnes, he said. In a major export success, oranges grown in Dambuk have reached international markets, with consignments now being sent to the United Arab Emirates. Khandu said these achievements reflect not just better production numbers but a shift in the rural economy driven by confidence and opportunity. 'Milestones we've achieved show the spirit of our farmers and the potential of our land," he said. The chief minister also underlined the significance of the newly launched Horticulture Policy 2025–35, which he described as a cornerstone of the state's agricultural transformation. 'With the Horticulture Policy 2025–35, we're not just supporting agriculture, we're investing in dignity, sustainability, and opportunity," he asserted.
