The chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh urged accelerated development of micro, small and medium enterprises to strengthen the regional economy and promote employment across the north eastern states. He sought faster expansion of central and state schemes and closer coordination with financial institutions to improve access to credit and markets. The appeal highlighted the need to harness local resources and traditional skills for sustainable enterprise growth.

He outlined priorities for streamlining approvals, enhancing infrastructure and expanding industrial clusters while calling for tailored training programmes to raise technical and managerial capacity. The administration proposed greater engagement with industry bodies and central agencies to simplify implementation and monitor outcomes. Emphasis was placed on creating linkages between rural producers and urban markets to boost entrepreneurship and reduce migration.

Officials discussed measures to strengthen supply chains, invest in connectivity and develop common facility centres to lower production costs and improve competitiveness. The chief minister encouraged partnerships between public and private sectors and stressed the importance of timely release of funds and efficient delivery of support services. Attention was directed to promoting value addition in agricultural and handloom sectors as a strategy to increase incomes.

The state government indicated plans to review existing incentives to ensure they address local constraints and to set up monitoring mechanisms to track progress. Stakeholders were asked to provide feedback on policy design to ensure interventions are inclusive and regionally appropriate. The meeting was presented as a step towards a coordinated push for MSME-led growth across the north eastern region.
