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

A skill university is being set up on public private partnership basis. The first phase of the university will start operation is FY18. Three

employability centers will also be opened by the state government.

The state plans to train 9,000 youth in FY18, under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana’.

Four Industrial training institutes will be made operational by 2018.

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 & 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$ 0.31 million was allocated in annual plan 2016-17.

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).

The government initiated talks with the officials of Oil India Limited to resume operations in the state & to explore areas from where oil & natural

gas can be extracted. It would lead to more business activities, which would add to the economy, to set up more industries as power will be

generated & will also provide employment opportunities to the unemployed youth.
