Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu on Thursday interacted with representatives from various academic institutes, corporations and enterprises in the agriculture, health, energy, transportation and e-commerce sectors.

The interaction programme was held under the Smart Village Movement (SVM).

During the interaction, a roadmap for the future course of projects in various districts of the State was discussed.

The SVM is expected to facilitate budding entrepreneurs in strengthening their livelihood opportunities.
