Programme aims to overhaul the quality of life of residents in the border villages and encourage them to stay in their area. It is hoped as the programme gathers steam, migration from the region will reduce and reverse and help strengthen border security.
Location a message
Kibithoo in Arunachal Pradesh’s Anjaw district is right at the border, about 15 km south of the LAC and 40 km west of the India-China-Myanmar tri-junction. One of the remotest circle headquarters in Arunachal, the only circle headquarters facing the IndiaChina border, the Kibithoo location for launching this programme is a straightforward message to the expansionist neighbour in the East that we mean business and will brook no interference in our affairs.
The VVP will also reaffirm a feeling of patriotism and citizenship among the residents increase the flow of information and act as a parallel conduit on what the enemy is up to. All the identified villages are likely to get 100 per cent participation in central and state schemes with focused work on road connectivity, drinking water, electricity including solar and wind energy, mobile and internet connectivity and healthcare infrastructure.
