Arunachal Pradesh’s MLA Wanglam Sawin addressed the issue of unemployment in Tirap district and how the Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM), as a livelihood facilitating agency, can bring changes in the district by training rural women and empowering them.

He was speaking at an ArSRLM rollout programme conducted on 25 February in Tirap district.

It is to be mentioned that the problem of unemployment gives rise to the problem of poverty. The government suffers extra borrowing burden because unemployment causes a decrease in the production and less consumption of goods and services by the people.

Tirap DC T Mize stressed on overall development of the district, focusing on how skill and knowledge can “ignite the rural population by building human resources and strong institutions for the poor.”

6 Assam Rifles Commandant AK Das gave assurance with regard to the safety of the ArSRLM employees “as ArSRLM works intrinsically in villages with regular interventions even in remote locations.” He also expressed interest in promoting local products of SHGs at the Assam Rifles general store/canteen here.

ZPC C Lowang offered suggestions with regard to livelihood activities and promotion in the district, such as bamboo products, food processing units and value addition, art and handicraft, and market linkages for local products.

The house also discussed setting up model SHGs/federations to encourage and motivate other SHGs of the villages. Streamlining of farmers-producers groups and value addition to their products were also discussed.
