Tuki called on NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Dr Arvind Panagariya in New Delhi on Wednesday and submitted a proposal "Priority Areas for Development in Arunachal Pradesh" for consideration by NITI Aayog, an official communique said here today.
The chief minister mentioned that the rationale of this proposal was to ensure completion of several projects which were started under the Special Plan Assistance (SPA) window of the Planning Commission.
While explaining the ramifications of the institutional changes in the wake of transition from Planning Commission to NITI Aayog, Tuki explained that SPA funding by the erstwhile Planning Commission had been a growth driver for creating infrastructure in the state.
