Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) KT Parnaik has emphasized the urgency of modernizing the state's administrative framework to make public services more efficient, accessible, and responsive. Speaking during a high-level review at Lok Bhavan on Friday, he pointed out that government machinery must evolve constantly to match the growing expectations of citizens and the complex operational demands of modern governance.
Focus on Last-Mile Delivery and Digitalization

During their discussions, Lt Gen (Retd) KT Parnaik called for administrative reforms that are practical, people-centric, and future-ready. He noted that the unique geographical terrain of Arunachal Pradesh presents distinct administrative challenges, requiring an agile and adaptable delivery system. To bridge these physical barriers, he urged officials to embrace data-driven governance and accelerate the adoption of digital technologies, particularly across rural and remote border regions.
Strengthening Grassroots Institutions and Transparency
Highlighting the core principles of effective governance, the Governor advocated for participatory and decentralized decision-making processes.
