Guwahati: Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet<\/a> approved grant of up to 50% SGST reimbursement<\/a> for the Kalai II Hydro Electric Project<\/a> (1200 MW) to enhance its financial viability.<\/p>\n

The Kalai II<\/a> HEP located on river Lohit in Anjaw District will be implemented by M\/s THDCIL, a Central Public Sector Undertaking in Joint Venture with the State Government. The project entails a cumulative investment of close to Rs. 14,000 crore and is expected to generate Rs. 318 crore of free power and Rs. 2.2 crore of Local Area Development Fund every year after commissioning. This project is a part of the 13 stalled large HEPs which were rejuvenated by the State Government<\/a> through signing of MOAs with 4 CPSUs in the year 2023.<\/p>\n

The Kalai II HEP is estimated to generate around 1,700 direct employment opportunities, with a significant portion of such opportunities reserved for eligible locals of Arunachal Pradesh. The project will also generate significant self-employment and entrepreneurship<\/a> opportunities through infrastructure development and ancillary services along with benefits to local communities through enhanced infrastructure, including roads, healthcare, and educational facilities, fostering long-term socioeconomic growth. The project will upskill local workers, create a pool of skilled labour, and boost regional economic activity, contributing to Arunachal Pradesh\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

The cabinet<\/a> has decided that the Arunachal Pradesh<\/a> Chief Minister\u2019s BAL SEVA Scheme will now provide support to all registered orphaned children of the state. Earlier, the benefits of the scheme were available only to COVID orphans. With the extension of scope, the scheme will also be extended to all orphaned children of the state registered under Baal Swaraj Portal, residing in Child Care Institutions and declared as \u2018Child in Need of Care and Protection \u2018under the Juvenile Justice<\/a> (Care and Protection of Children) Act,2015.<\/p>\n

These children will be provided with financial assistance of Rs 1500 per month per child till the age of 18 years and the amount shall be in addition to any other assistance provided under Mission Vatsalya scheme under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, and a provision of a laptop or tablet for those beneficiaries who have entered Class 11, college or a vocational course.<\/p>\n
