Based on the availability of resources, the state has identified thrust areas for industrial development:
Industries based on agricultural, horticultural and plantation produce.
Industries based on non-timber forest produce such as bamboo, cane (rattan), medicinal plants/herbs, aromatic grass, tea
and coffee.
Industries based on locally available raw-materials, except timber.
Textiles (handlooms and power-looms), handicrafts and sericulture.
Electronics and IT-based enterprises.
Mineral-based industries (such as ferro-alloys, cement, etc.).

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
ARUNACHAL PRADESH LAND OF THE RISING SUN
The state’s Chief Minister has assured the addition of 0.1 million jobs during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017).
During the financial year 2015-16, creation of 12,300 job opportunities was targeted. However, nearly 15,000 youth were employed
during the year, exceeding the set target by a huge margin.
The Chief Minister's Skill Development Programme helped in improving employability of educated unemployed youth in the state. Its
main objective is to provide 100,000 jobs for unemployed youths during the 12th Five Year Plan. Under this initiative, Job Mela-cum-
Skill Development Interview Rally is being organised at regular intervals. Till May 2015, more than 61,500 youths have been
employed or self employed.
Furthermore, the state government has announced that a minimum of 10% of the funds allocated to the MLA local area development
scheme will be used to train unemployed youths. This will help them acquire the necessary skills for taking up self-employment
activities or for enhancing their employability.
The decision of establishing a skill development centre in a phased manner in each & every district of the state was also made in the
budget of 2015-16. In addition to this, an employment opportunity, under the Arunachal Agriculture Employment Generation
Scheme, with an allocation of US$0.83 million would also be launched for the youth under the agriculture sector.
Other schemes that have helped in employment generation include: National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), Prime
Minister's Rozgar Yojana (PMRY), Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), Scheme for Working Women Hostels,
Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) and Training of Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM).
The government initiated talks with the officials of Oil India Limited to resume operations in the state & to explore areas from where
oil & natural gas can be extracted. It would lead to more business activities, which would add to the economy, to set up more
industries as power will be generated & will also provide employment opportunities to the unemployed youth.
