The Dibang Power Project in Arunachal Pradesh, overseen by Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, aims to boost the state's energy capacity and economy. Collaboration with local communities is key to its success. Infrastructure improvements and tourism growth are expected alongside the energy advancement.

The ambitious 2880-MW Dibang Power Project in Arunachal Pradesh is set to enhance the state's energy infrastructure significantly, driving economic growth in the region. Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, during a site visit, emphasized the project's potential as a hallmark of perseverance and collaboration.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Pema Khandu, the state has successfully reallocated stalled projects to central public sector undertakings. Local communities and the youth have played a critical role in advancing the project's development, marking an essential step in harnessing Arunachal's rich hydropower resources.

The initiative, as highlighted by Mein, goes beyond energy production, aiming to catalyze economic development, boost tourism, and enhance connectivity, providing long-term benefits to the populace.
