Arunachal govt launches 'Mission Arun Himveer' to boost economy
Deccan ChronicleItanagar: To boost market linkage for agricultural and horticultural products in Arunachal Pradesh, the state government on Friday launched Mission Arun Himveer by signing a pact between the agriculture marketing board and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, North East Frontier, in the presence of Chief Minister Pema Khandu here. This new agreement follows a similar understanding with the Army in August 2022, under which the state government, via LAMPS, supplied around 400 tons of fruits and vegetables worth Rs 72 lakh to the armed forces from local farmers. It Khandu congratulated the board for the initiative and expressed optimism that ITBP's commitment to purchasing locally produced goods would significantly alleviate the challenges of limited markets for local farmers. He said that the initiative would not only double farmers' income but also create a friendly relationship between people in the border region and ITBP forces.
