Shri Likha Maaj, Lead Promoter of the Mega Food Park in Arunachal Pradesh, Calls for Greater Industrial Exposure and Investment

During a two-day exposure visit to the Industrial Growth Centre at Chaygaon, Assam, Shri Likha Maaj, Lead Promoter of the Mega Food Park in Arunachal Pradesh, expressed appreciation for the scale of industrial development and the investor-friendly facilities available in Assam.

Shri Maaj stated that he visited approximately 250 factories during the exposure tour and observed that the Industrial Growth Centre provides essential infrastructure such as water supply, electricity and road connectivity, creating a conducive environment for industries and investors.

He expressed disappointment that similar facilities and infrastructure are not yet built adequately in Arunachal Pradesh. He observed that while the State has immense potential and resources, the lack of basic industrial infrastructure continues to discourage investment.

He further pointed out that people of our State visit Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar for exposure thereby placing an additional burden on the State exchequer when a large-scale and practical industrial exposure is available just a few hours away in neighbouring Assam.

Many of the established units at the Industrial Growth Centre in Assam represent investments of around ₹200 crore, demonstrating how proper infrastructure and an investor-friendly ecosystem can attract substantial private investment and generate employment.

Shri Maaj suggested that the State Government should facilitate structured exposure visits for MLAs, government officers, entrepreneurs, Community-Based Organisations (CBOs), unemployed youth and other concerned stakeholders. Such visits would enable them to understand successful industrial models, identify opportunities and develop practical strategies for replicating suitable models in Arunachal Pradesh.

He emphasised that the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” and a self-reliant Arunachal Pradesh, under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, can be strengthened by providing stakeholders with meaningful, ground-level exposure to successful industrial growth models.

Industrial centre that exist around Pasighat–Ruksin, he observed that they have not yet achieved the scale, productivity and investor participation witnessed in Assam and therefore require greater government attention.

Likha Maaj, particularly called for focused attention towards the State’s lone Mega Food Park, stressing the need to strengthen its infrastructure, attract more investors, facilitate food-processing industries. and create a vibrant ecosystem around the park.

He further suggested that systematic Investor Summits , stronger industrial infrastructure, investor-friendly policies and proactive government support under the leadership of the Chief Minister can put Arunachal Pradesh on a stronger path towards industrialisation, employment generation and economic self-reliance.
