New Delhi: Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, will reach Arunachal Pradesh today. He will attend a number of events and interact with ITBP agents in Kibithoo. The "Vibrant Villages Programme" (VVP) will be introduced by Amit Shah at the border village of Kibithoo, Arunachal Pradesh.

The Government of India has approved the VVP with central components totaling Rs 4,800 crore, including Rs 2,500 crore specifically for road connectivity for the Financial Years 2022-23 to 2025-26. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in charge of this project.

The VVP is a federally funded programme that has identified 2,967 villages for comprehensive development in 46 blocks of 19 districts along the northern border in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh, as well as the Union Territory of Ladakh. 662 villages, including 455 in Arunachal Pradesh, have been chosen for priority coverage in the first phase.

The VVP will aid in raising the standard of living for those residing in designated border villages and motivating them to remain there, reversing the outmigration from these communities and enhancing border security.
Action Plans will be prepared for the identified village by the district administration with assistance from the proper mechanisms at the block and panchayat levels in order to guarantee complete saturation of federal and state programmes.

Road connections, drinking water, power, including solar and wind energy, mobile and internet access, tourist attractions, multipurpose facilities, healthcare infrastructure, and wellness centres have been selected as the focal areas of interventions for the development of communities.

The Home Minister will also dedicate nine Micro Hydel Projects built in Kibithoo as part of the "Golden Jubilee Border Lighting Plan" by the Arunachal Pradesh government.

People living in border villages will gain power as a result of these electricity installations. Also, he will dedicate projects for the improvement of infrastructure at Likabali (Arunachal Pradesh), Chapra (Bihar), Nooranad (Kerala), and Vishakapatnam by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) (Andhra Pradesh).
