Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu today asked his ministers to work for faster development of the state through innovative methodologies that ensure result oriented performance by their respective departments.
"It's time that we live up to our people's expectations and make this government a truly welfare government, where fruits of development are reaped by each and every citizen of our beautiful state," Khandu was quoted in an official communique.
He sought reports every three months from the ministers on tangible developments undertaken in their ministries including plans, policy, status of ongoing and completed projects, central and state sponsored programmes with special focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship programmes like Digital India, Jan Dhan Yojana, Swatch Bharat and Skill India.
"I am confident that with your diligence and acumen, you will be managing the departments assigned to you in an highly efficient manner," he aid while pitching for visible and result oriented development of the state.

Earlier, initiating the discussion BJP member Kaling
Moyong said the state government was committed to root out corruption and deal with law and order with zero tolerance.
Party members Nyamar Karbak and Kento Rina urged the assembly members to join hands with the government to root out deep rooted corruption in the state.
While BJP member Tage Taki called for rectification of the state's land policy to attract investment from outside the state, PPA MLA Tirong Aboh urged the government to provide special quota to students and candidates of Joint Entrance Exam and Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission exams in insurgency-affected Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts.
Senior PPA member Nikh Kamin urged the government to move the Centre for amendment of the Statehood Bill which, he said, curtails tribal rights.
The house later adopted the motion of thanks on the governor's address before Speaker T Norbu Thongdok adjourned the house for the day.
