Harnessing the vast hydroelectric potential and promoting sustainable energy generation in the region, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of two major hydropower projects worth over ₹3,700 crore in Itanagar.

According to a government press release, the Heo Hydro Electric Project (240 MW) and Tato-I Hydro Electric Project (186 MW) will be developed in the Siyom sub-basin of Arunachal Pradesh.

PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone of a state-of-the-art convention centre at Tawang. Located at over 9,820 feet in the frontier district of Tawang, the centre will serve as a landmark facility to host national and international conferences, cultural festivals, and exhibitions.

With a capacity to host over 1,500 delegates, the convention centre will meet global standards and support the tourism and cultural potential of the region.

The Prime Minister will also launch multiple key infrastructure projects worth over ₹1,290 crore, catering to various sectors including connectivity, health, fire safety, and working women’s hostels, among others. These initiatives are expected to catalyse economic activity, improve quality of life, and enhance connectivity in the region, the press note mentioned.

He will also interact with local taxpayers, traders, and industry representatives to discuss the impact of the recent GST rate rationalisation. This aligns with his vision of ensuring ease of doing business and fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.

After the Arunachal Pradesh visit, the Prime Minister will land in Tripura, where he will inaugurate the development work of the Mata Tripura Sundari Temple Complex at Matabari under the Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Heritage Augmentation Drive (PRASAD) scheme.

It is one of the ancient 51 Shakti Peethas, located in the Udaipur town of Gomati district in Tripura. This is in line with his commitment to promote and preserve India’s spiritual and cultural heritage, according to officials.

The project, designed to resemble a tortoise when viewed from above, includes modifications on the temple premises, new pathways, renovated entrances and fencing, a drainage system, and a new three-storied complex consisting of stalls, a meditation hall, guest accommodations, and office rooms. It will play a significant role in boosting tourism, creating employment and business opportunities, and contributing to the overall socio-economic development of the region.
