The northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh clocked the highest economic growth rate in the country of 22.43 percent in 2009-10, followed by Mizoram and Goa, according to a government report.

Arunachal Pradesh's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) rose by 7.51 percent in 2008-09.

Minister of State for Planning Ashwani Kumar informed the Lok Sabha that Mizoram and Goa registered GSDP growth of 13.95 percent and 13.03 percent, respectively, in 2009-10.

However, the GSDP growth performance of Rajasthan -- at 3.95 percent -- was the lowest among the 32 states and Union Territories in the country last fiscal.

The other two states where the pace of economic expansion was low were Andaman and Nicobar and Karnataka , at 4.39 and 4.99 percent, respectively.

Kumar also said in his reply that as many as 19 states and Union Territories recorded economic expansion at a rate over 8 percent during the year.

The country's overall gross domestic product growth during 2009-10 stood at 8 percent. The government expects the country to clock a GDP growth rate of 8.6 percent in the current fiscal.

Data for the states of Manipur and West Bengal was not available.


Arunachal To Be Leader in Power Production

Arunachal Pradesh is poised to be one of the leading power producing States in the country by 2022-23 after majority of its allotted power projects are commissioned, Governor Gen (Retd) J J Singh informed the State Assembly today.

“The annual revenue accrual to the State is likely to be of the order of Rs 10,000 crore after complete commission of the projects with an estimated capacity of 57000 megawatt,” the Governor said in his customary speech on the inaugural day of the six-day Budget Session.

He said the State is expected to have adequate power for its own consumption and by the end of 12th Plan the revenue figure was projected at Rs 1,905 crore annually.

“High priority is accorded by my government to the optimum exploitation of the available water resources in the State for power generation to provide electricity as well as employment opportunities,” he said.

The State government has adopted effective policies for development of its hydro potential which have paved the way for development of both small and large hydro power projects on public-private partnership (PPP) mode through State and Central sector PSUs as well as independent power producers, he added.

By the end of 12th Plan, the State was likely to add about 12,081.90 MW capacity under its Hydro Power Sector, he said.

The Border Villages Illumination Programme under Prime Minister’s Package was also being implemented with the aim of electrifying remote border villages, he said.

“So far, more than 1300 villages have been electrified under the programme,” he added.

Trans-Arunachal Power Grid is in a conceptual stage and a detailed project report has been submitted to the Planning Commission.

The Khupi-Tawang portion of this grid has already been sanctioned by the DoNER Ministry, he said

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that Arunachal Pradesh has always been an integral part of India and will remain so and the Chinese map showing the northeastern state as its part will not change the reality.

This "simple fact" was conveyed by the Prime Minister to a delegation of All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union which met him here yesterday, AAPSU president Takam Tatung said.


"Arunachal Pradesh has always been an integral part of India and will remain so," Tatung quoted Singh as saying.

On the issue of China issuing stapled visa to residents of Arunachal Pradesh, Singh said the Centre was putting its sincere efforts to solve the problem at the earliest.

The Prime Minister said Arunachal Pradesh cannot remain in isolation and the fruit of development should reach there like the rest of the country.

"During my visit to Arunachal Pradesh in 2008, creation of infrastructure in the state had been outlined and our governments both at the Centre and in the state are doing best to accelerate the pace of development," Tatung said quoting the Prime Minister.

The AAPSU delegation also brought to the notice of the Prime Minister the decades-old Chakma-Hajong issue in the state, insurgency in Tirap and Changlang, Assam-Arunachal boundary row and mechanism to monitor proper implementation of all the government schemes in the state, Tatung added
