Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh – On Thursday, Chief Minister Pema Khandu unveiled a strategic roadmap that seeks to place the state’s young population at the centre of its economic development agenda through 2036. The plan outlines a series of initiatives designed to enhance skill development, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities for youth across the region.

While specific targets were not disclosed, officials indicated that the framework will be integrated with existing state schemes to maximise resource utilisation.
