Arunachal border villages emerging as tourism, livelihood hubs: Khandu

On a special day called Independence Day, the leader of a big state in India made an important speech.

His name is Pema Khandu, and he is the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh.

He said that villages near the border of the country are becoming new places for tourists to visit.

The government is building roads and other facilities so people in these villages can earn a living.

He also talked about hydropower, which means making electricity using the force of rivers.

Arunachal Pradesh wants to build many hydropower projects so India can get clean energy.

One big project, called Subansiri Lower, has already started producing electricity for people.

The state is also helping women start businesses and working to make schools better for children.

Floods recently hurt some people in the region, and the Chief Minister said the government is helping them recover.

He promised that development should reach everyone, no matter how far they live.
