455 Arunachal Villages coming up as Vibrant Villages under Centre’s Vibrant Village Programme
First Published: 22nd August, 2024 14:19 IST
The GoI had identified 662 villages all across the LAC and VVP is being implemented in 455 villages of Arunachal Pradesh.
In order to foster rapid development in the bordering villages of Arunachal Pradesh, the Centre has taken up a highly ambitious project in the name of Vibrant Village Programme (VVP).
VVP has been launched by the Government of India (GOI) with an aim to bring in rapid progress in the bordering villages close to the Indo-China border. Starting from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, India shares a long boundary with China.
The GoI had identified 662 villages all across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and VVP is being implemented in 455 villages of Arunachal Pradesh. 30 villages in Shi Yomi district of the state have been selected for implementation of the highly ambitious project, preparatory work for which is underway.
The Centre has allocated a sum of Rs. 4800 crores to be spent starting from the 2022-23 fiscal to 2025-26 financial year. The main objective of VVP is construction of infrastructure, which includes roads and bridges to connect the villages, power supply, housing, building tourist centers, and support for livelihood generation.
Since our independence, the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh has always remained a neglected lot under successive governments both at the Centre and in the state. However, for the last decade, due to attention from the Centre a slew of developmental projects are being implemented now.
