Arunachal Pradesh has 12 industrial estates located in

different districts and spread over a total area of 51.9

hectare. These industrial estates have been developed

in land-areas ranging from 4,540 to 202,342.8 square

metres, with the primary objective of growth and

development of small scale industries.

The Government of Arunachal Pradesh decided to

distribute US$ 1.66 million among unemployed

engineers in the state, for the purpose of establishing

manufacturing units/small scale industries in the state in

2015-16.

An amount of US$ 0.08 million was planned for the

feasibility study of special economic zones (SEZs) in

Arunachal Pradesh.

In order to promote agro-based industries, the

Government proposed to provide special incentives such

as VAT refund for the next five years from the date of

production.

Moreover, in order to attract more investments, investors

who set up food processing units, cold storages and

tissue culture labs in the state would be provided power

The state government has set up District Industries Centres (DICs) across districts. These DICs play a vital role in industrial

development by providing services to entrepreneurs that include identification of suitable schemes; preparation of project reports;

arrangement for providing required plant, machinery and raw-materials; assistance in availing incentives and facilities provided by

both central and state governments; and liaison with all development departments and financial institutions to provide assistance

to prospective entrepreneurs. In addition, as of April 2015, there were 6 industrial training institutes (ITIs) in Arunachal Pradesh.

Out of these, five are run by the Government and one ITI is privately controlled.

Based on the availability of resources, the state has identified thrust areas for industrial development:

Industries based on agricultural, horticultural and plantation produce.

Industries based on non-timber forest produce such as bamboo, cane (rattan), medicinal plants/herbs, aromatic grass, tea

and coffee.

Industries based on locally available raw-materials, except timber.

Textiles (handlooms and power-looms), handicrafts and sericulture.

Electronics and IT-based enterprises.

Mineral-based industries (such as ferro-alloys, cement, etc.).

Facilitation and development of industrial infrastructure, including power and communications, under public private

partnership.

Food processing industries and engineering and allied industries (rolling mill, steel mill, etc.); and tourism





EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES


The state’s Chief Minister has assured the addition of 0.1 million jobs during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017).

During the financial year 2015-16, creation of 12,300 job opportunities was targeted. However, nearly 15,000 youth were

employed during the year, exceeding the set target by a huge margin.

The Chief Minister's Skill Development Programme helped in improving employability of educated unemployed youth in the

state. Its main objective is to provide 100,000 jobs for unemployed youths during the 12th Five Year Plan. Under this

initiative, Job Mela-cum-Skill Development Interview Rally is being organised at regular intervals. Till May 2015, more than

61,500 youths have been employed or self employed.

Furthermore, the state government has announced that a minimum of 10% of the funds allocated to the MLA local area

development scheme will be used to train unemployed youths. This will help them acquire the necessary skills for taking up

self-employment activities or for enhancing their employability.

The decision of establishing a skill development centre in a phased manner in each and every district of the state was also

made in the budget of 2015-16. In addition to this, an employment opportunity, under the Arunachal Agriculture Employment

Generation Scheme, with an allocation of US$ 0.83 million would also be launched for the youth under the agriculture

sector.

Other schemes that have helped in employment generation include: National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA),

Prime Minister's Rozgar Yojana (PMRY), Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), Scheme for Working Women

Hostels, Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) and Training of Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM).

power generation capacity of 257.86 MW. Hydro energy

(97.57 MW) accounted for around 37.84% of Arunachal

Pradesh’s installed power generation capacity. The

Department of Hydropower Development, Arunachal

Pradesh, is wholly entrusted with the design, construction,

operation and maintenance of hydropower projects in the

state.

After renewable energy and hydropower, thermal power is

the prime source of electricity generation in the state. As of

June 2016, the state accounted for an installed capacity of

power generation of 55.41 MW from thermal power plants

out of which 43.06 MW is contributed by gas power plants

and 12.35 MW from coal power plants.

On account of its hilly terrain and abundant rivers,

Arunachal Pradesh is estimated to have hydropower

potential of 60,000 MW (through mega projects).

Key regions for tapping hydropower include Dibang,

Tawang, Subansiri Upper, Subansiri Middle, Kameng and

Lohit. The Government has invited domestic power
